Interest on delayed Refund claim - “relevant date” - The Tribunal held that, Section 11 BB, does not talk or uses the phraseology “relevant date,” what it alone speaks is “the date of receipt of application under subsection (1)” of Section 11B. The term relevant date is made use of in Section 11B and that too, in the context of the limitation for making of such an application for filing of a refund claim and provides for a series of situations like export of goods, goods returned for certain specified reasons, etc. or even situations not pertaining directly to manufacturers, provisional payments of duty, judicial ruling and the like. The usage of the term “relevant date” therefore, does not have any impact with reference to the date of proclamation of the admissibility of the refund claim.
