Refund of accumulated unutilized ITC on export of services was rejected by treating the petitioner's zero-rated supplies under s.16 IGST Act as "intermediary services." On construing the service agreement with the foreign group entity and considering consistent refund sanctions under pre- and post-GST regimes along with binding precedent, the court held the petitioner neither acted as an intermediary nor provided intermediary services.
