Chapter III of DTAA between India and Mauritius did not provide for taxing any fees paid for technical services. Only for a reason that DTAA is silent on a particular type of income, we cannot say that such income will automatically become business income of the recipient. In our opinion, when DTAA is silent on an aspect, the provisions of the Act has to be considered and applied. This aspect has not been dealt with by the authorities below. We are, therefore, of the opinion that this issue requires a fresh look by the A.O.

Issue involved in the present appeal is whether the refund claim filed by the respondent is hit by the time limitation as prescribed under Section 11B of the Central Excise Act. The refund claim in present case was filed on 28th April 2010 for refund of service tax paid by them. The original authority in para 2.1 of the Order-in-Original has stated that the TR-6/GAR-7 challans filed along with the claim and the statement furnished by the claimant shows that the service tax payments were made during the period 2006-07 and 2007-08 and last such challan was dated 1st December 2007 and it was also noticed that service tax liability for the period May 2004 to March 2006 was discharged in May 2006. We find that refund claim was submitted by the respondent with the office of Assistant Commissioner of Central Excise on 28-4-2010 under Section 11B of the Central Excise Act as made applicable to the service tax matters vide Section 83 of the Finance Act, 1994. Refund claim was to be filed within a period of one year from the date of payment of excise duty/service tax. We, therefore, find that the refund claim was filed much after the time-limit of one year as prescribed under Section 11B of the Central Excise Act.
