The appellant, registered for providing "Business Auxiliary Service," sought a refund of service tax paid inadvertently under the reverse charge mechanism. The Tribunal held that since no service tax liability existed during the period in question, the inadvertent tax payment should be refunded, and the retention of funds by the government was unauthorized.
