Telangana HC directed Customs Commissioner to amend BOE so as to enable importer to take refund of excess CVD paid


Quick Summary
The Telangana High Court has ruled that Sony India is eligible for a refund of excess Countervailing Duty (CVD) paid on imported mobile phones. Despite paying a higher rate, Sony India argued they should have benefited from a lower rate, as they could not have claimed CENVAT credit on inputs. The court agreed, stating that importer-traders are entitled to the lower CVD rate and directed the Customs Commissioner to amend the Bill of Entry to facilitate the refund.
