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

Last updated: 23 August 2021
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.
