We have filed an appeal for Service tax matter in which we deposited the 10% of the Demand amount in advance.
Appeal is decided in our favour. so What is the process to get the deposited amount back and what documents are required.
Please help me.
Thanks
Hi Sourabh,
Congrats on the appeal decision in your favor! Here’s how you can get your 10% appeal deposit back in a Service Tax matter:
Order in Your Favor: Since the appeal is decided in your favor, you’re eligible for a refund of the 10% deposit paid.
File Refund Application:
Submit a refund claim to the concerned Commissioner (Appeals) / Appropriate Authority who decided the appeal.
Usually, this is done by filing Form TR-6 (Refund application for Service Tax).
Attach Documents:
Copy of the Order/Judgment in your favor.
Proof of the deposit paid (challan or bank receipt).
Copy of the appeal memo or acknowledgement.
Letter/request addressed to the Commissioner for refund.
Verification & Sanction:
The authority will verify the claim.
Upon verification, refund sanction order will be issued.
Refund Credit:
The amount will be credited to your bank account (details usually provided in the refund application).
This may take some time depending on the department’s processing speed.
| Document | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Copy of Appeal Order | Proof appeal decided in your favor |
| Challan/BG/Bank receipt | Proof of 10% deposit paid |
| Copy of Appeal Memo/Receipt | Proof appeal filed |
| Refund Application (Form TR-6) | Formal request for refund |
| Bank Details (Cancelled cheque) | For refund payment |
If the deposit was made by Demand Draft (DD), attach a copy of DD.
Keep track of refund application reference number.
Follow-up with the department if refund is delayed.
In case of issues, you can approach Central Excise Refund Cell or your jurisdictional Commissioner.
