From the Board’s Circular dated 19/01/2010, it is abundantly clear that refund of Cenvat credit can be allowed irrespective of when the credit was taken in case of service providers exporting 100% of their services. From the facts narrated in the order dated 13/01/2012, wherein the refund claim has been partly allowed, it is evident that the appellant was continuously undertaking exports during the said period and there were no domestic clearances. Therefore, in terms of the Board circular and also the decision of the Tribunal in the case of Chamundi Textiles (Silk Mills) Ltd., (supra), the appellant is eligible for the refund of the entire amount of service tax credit paid by them on the input service irrespective of when the credit was taken.
This appeal filed by the department is directed against an order of the Commissioner (Appeals) wherein certain refund claim was held to be admissible to the respondent and the amount for refund was directed to be quantified by the lower authority. The only ground raised in this appeal is that the learned Commissioner (Appeals) passed a remand order without having the power of remand.
