Refund of service tax - Period of limitation - It is not necessary that there should be an order of rejection of refund. If a litigation is at the stage of Show Cause Notice and there is a proposal for rejection, the Show Cause Notice has to be adjudicated after considering the amendment brought forth vide the Finance Act, 2016. It cannot be then said that the Adjudicating Authority has to first reject the claim and thereafter assessee has to file a fresh claim under the amended Notification of 2016 - The intention of the Government is very much clear from the Notification which is to grant refund retrospectively with effect from 01.07.2012.
