CESTAT adjudicated a refund claim for a 100% Export Oriented Unit (EOU), affirming the appellant's entitlement to input service credit. The tribunal determined that the submitted documentation, including export invoices, bank certificates, credit registers, and service tax returns, sufficiently substantiated the refund claim under Rule 5 of Cenvat Credit Rules, 2004. Critically, the tribunal clarified that 'input service' does not mandate a direct nexus between input and output services for EOUs. Procedural technicalities, such as potential CA certificate deficiencies, were deemed insufficient grounds for refund rejection. Consequently, the tribunal allowed the appeal, reinforcing a liberal interpretation of input service credit provisions for export-oriented enterprises.
