CESTAT set aside the order confirming the demand for reversal of CENVAT credit on the amount written off as bad debts. Further, held that there is no such provision in the CENVAT Credit Rules, 2004 or in Finance Act, 1994 for reversal of CENVAT credit for the services provided for which no consideration for service provided is received by an assessee.
HC held that once the assessee is cooperating and has submitted the relevant documents to the Revenue Department then the bank accounts and Electronic Credit Ledger (ECL) of such assessee to be unblocked upon the expiry of one year from the date of imposing such restrictions.
High Court observed that in the absence of specific mention of IGST and Compensation Cess in the Exemption Notification, only the BCD on the fair cost of repair charges, freight and insurance charges would be payable. The IGST and Compensation Cess would be wholly exempted. Therefore, the assessee could not be denied such exemption on reimport of repaired air-crafts and spare parts.
HC set aside the summons issued by the Revenue Department without any details of the inquiry, wherein the assessee was co-operating in furnishing the documents as requisitioned and to provide further details. Held that, summons is a last resort and are not to be issued in a casual manner.
HC dismissed the applicability of Circular in a petition challenging the conduct of alleged parallel investigation by various jurisdictional authorities and affirmed the investigations conducted various jurisdictional authorities of the Revenue Department into entities having common nexus. Held that, Circular cannot be extended to cover all and myriad situations that may arise in the administration and the functioning of the GST structure.
