Designated Committee was directed to consider afresh the declaration of assessee under Sabka Vishwas (Legacy Dispute Resolution) Scheme, 2019 as a valid declaration and grant the consequential relief after giving due opportunity of hearing to assessee.
Assessee was not eligible to make a declaration under the ‘Sabka Vishwas Scheme’ with respect to Superior Kerosene Oil (SKO) as S.K.O. was an excisable goods set forth in the Fourth Schedule to the Act, 1944 and section 125(1)(h) of the Act 2019/ ‘Sabka Vishwas Scheme’ had specifically excluded persons seeking to make declarations with respect to excisable goods set forth in the Fourth Schedule to the Central Excise Act, 1944.

Bombay High Court held that, the commencement of adjudication proceedings after inordinate delay of 13 years post-issuance of Show Cause Notices is untenable in law and any consequential decision or order based on such adjudication proceeding is therefore, held to be invalid.
It has been consistently held that sales commission fall under definition of ‘input service’. By following the ratio of the above said decisions, we hold that denial of CENVAT Credit on sales commission is not sustainable in law.
The insurance service provided by the Deposit Insurance Corporation to the banks is an ‘input service’ and CENVAT credit of service tax paid for this service received by the banks from the Deposit Insurance Corporation can be availed by the banks for rendering ‘output services’.
While considering a declaration seeking amnesty under the scheme; the approach should be to ensure that the scheme was successful and therefore a liberal view embedded with the principles of natural justice was called for. Thus, rejection of the declaration of assessee by the Designated Committee was not justified. Accordingly, the consequential relief was granted in terms of the scheme after giving an opportunity of hearing to assessee, who shall be informed about the date, time, and place of the hearing.
The appeal is disposed of, answering the questions of law in favour of the Revenue; but restraining the respondent-Revenue from recovering the amounts refunded since as of now the levy of service tax on the payment in lieu of foreign agency commission will not be leviable as ‘Business Auxiliary service’ prior to 18.04.2006. Parties are left to suffer their respective costs.
