The CESTAT overturned the impugned order that classified the appellant's services as those of an 'intermediary' under Rule 2(f) of the Place of Provision of Services Rules, 2012, holding this classification unsustainable. The tribunal found that the appellant's provision of marketing, promotional, and after-sales services to its foreign parent entity constituted export of services under the relevant Export Rules, as the benefit of such services accrued outside India. Consequently, the denial of refund claims was set aside, and the appellant was held eligible for refund of Cenvat credit under Rule 5 of the Cenvat Credit Rules, 2004. The appeal was allowed, confirming the appellant's status as an exporter rather than an intermediary.
