Time period for claiming refund of excess Service Tax paid under TRAN-1, to be counted from date of it's reversal

Last updated: 11 March 2021
Quick Summary
The CESTAT Ahmedabad has ruled that the time limit for claiming a refund of excess Service Tax paid and credited to TRAN-1 begins from the date this amount was reversed. This decision overturned a previous rejection based on the claim being time-barred. The Tribunal found that the refund application was filed within the stipulated one-year period from the reversal date, not the original payment date.
