09 October 2012 My company have erroneously paid service tax on exempted services (burden have not been passed onto anyone). Now we want to claim refund of the same.

Can refund be claimed under old procedure ,i.e., by filling form R with necessary documents or is there any other way to claim refund?

09 October 2012 Thank you for your reply, but I came to know that refund can be claimed u/s 11B of Central excise Act, by virtue of section 83 of the said act.

If you can please provide some help by considering above provisions.

09 October 2012 The Department will review your Request for Refund of Service Tax and if your Refund Request is found justified and
there is a delay of processing of Service Tax Refund Request for more than 3 Months from the date of receipt of
application, Simple Interest @ 6% would be payable by the Govt. on delayed payment
