Unutilised input tax credit accumulated from an inverted duty structure is refundable where manufacturing inputs are taxed at a higher rate than the outward supply and are distinct from the finished goods.

CBIC circulars bind central tax officers but not the Appellate Tribunal, although they may carry persuasive value.
