The refund was required to be processed within a reasonable time after finalisation of the matter, and departmental authorities were expected to comply promptly with refund directions in line with Board circulars. Continued non-processing of the claim and insistence on unnecessary fresh filings did not justify withholding the refund after the assessment disputes were concluded.
