Presently, assesses are claiming refund orders on the services provided by CHA which are gigantic problematic services in getting refund. The refunds claimed by the assessees as against their exports are their civil rights but are being declined by the departmental authorities on various arguments which are of no significance and value less. The various reasons on which the department is refusing these refund claims on the said service are highlighted as under:
Today, in the present scenario also, the poor exporter is still facing enormous difficulty in getting refund orders as stated in the lines above. There is no radical change has taken place even after the change of total scheme by the Government. The refund claims are the Right of the exporters but the department is rejecting these claims on various grounds which are of trivial importance.

Mr Rajinder Hinduja, Executive Director (Finance), Gokaldas Exporters, expressed concern over the delay in the refund of taxes linked to levies like service tax and others. Mr Hinduja also pleaded for a clear stand on the 100 per cent export oriented units, which enjoyed tax exemptions. However, with the concession expected to expire in 2009, the exporters would be pushed to dire straits, he said. Mr Ravi Vshwanath, CFO of Sun Microsystems said though the bigger software companies had, to an extent managed the impact of the stronger rupee through costreduction, but smaller units that were reeling under the problem.
