Legality and validity of the show-cause notice - pre-show-cause notice consultation - procedural infraction of impugned SCN - the pre-show-cause notice consultation dated 12.4.2019 calling upon the petitioners at 13.55 hours to remain present before the respondent No.2 at 16.00 hours on the same day - compliance of the Circular dated 10.3.2017 issued by the Board - HELD THAT:- In view of the Circular, it is clear that the Board had made issuance of preshow- cause notice consultation mandatory for the Principal Commissioner/Commissioner prior to the issuance of show-cause notice in cases involving the demands of duty above ₹ 50 lac and that such consultation was to be done by the adjudicating authority with the assessee as an important step towards the trade facilitation and for promoting necessary compliance, as also to reduce the necessity of issuing show-cause notice. Despite such mandatory requirement of the pre-show-cause notice consultation at the instance of the respondent authority, in utter disregard of the said mandate, and without considering the laudable object behind issuing such circular, the respondents issued the impugned pre-show-cause notice consultation dated 12.4.2019 delivering the same to the petitioner assessee at 13.55 hours and calling upon them to remain present before the respondent No.2 at 16.00 hours.
The petitioners having requested for reasonable time for the effective consultation, without considering the said request, the respondent No.2 issued the show-cause notice on the same day i.e. on 12.4.2019. Such a high-handed action on the part of the respondent No.2, not only deserves to be deprecated but to be seriously viewed.
It is required to be noted that as such the demand made in the impugned show-cause notice was within the prescribed time limit. Now, since the said notice is sought to be set aside on the ground that adequate opportunity of hearing was not given to the petitioners for consultation prior to the issuance of the said notice, the petitioners cannot be permitted to take unfair advantage on the ground that the demand made in the notice had now become time-barred in view of the statutory provisions.
The Court hereby sets aside the impugned notice dated 12.4.2019 (Annexure-D) on the ground that the petitioners were not granted an adequate opportunity for the consultation prior to the issuance of the said notice - Petition allowed.

Commissioner in the impugned order, is not due to any mis-declaration or false declaration under VCES. Ld.

CEMENT WORKS VERSUS COMMISSIONER, CENTRAL EXCISE, CENTRAL GOODS AND SERVICE TAX, UDAIPUR [2021 (3) TMI 123 - CESTAT NEW DELHI], wherein under the similar facts and circumstances, this Tribunal following the ruling of the Hon’ble Supreme Court in the case of SANDVIK ASIA LIMITED VERSUS COMMISSIONER OF INCOME-TAX AND OTHERS [2006 (1) TMI 55 - SUPREME COURT] as well as of the Hon’ble Allahabad High Court in the case of HELLO MINERALS WATER (P) LTD.

Valuation - life insurance business - treatment of surrender value’ exacted, on premature exit, from holders of ‘unit linked insurance policy (ULIP)’as consideration for provision of service - whether the ‘surrender charge’ is consideration for a service that comes within the ambit of the levies pertaining to the insurance sector during the period of dispute?
HELD THAT:- It is common ground that upon an insured ceasing to comply with the obligation to pay the premium at stipulated intervals, the policy is deemed to be surrendered and the holder entitled to ‘surrender value’ representing the portion of the receipts that had been invested in the appropriate funds. There is also no dispute that the amount disbursed is lesser than the value of the funds on the date of surrender. The proposition of Learned Authorized Representative is that the amount so withheld is consideration for services rendered in connection with the fund during the period of investment.
The recall order was actuated by the merit of the plea in rectification proceedings that taxability under one of the enumerations in section 65(105) of Finance Act, 1944 appeared to have been considered in the decision of the Tribunal that ruled in favour of the assessee. Rectification that calls for recall remains as under disposal and attains consummation with substitution of the recalled order. It would be presumption for Learned Authorised Representative to conceive that such recall must, inevitably, lead to a contrary opinion on the part of the Tribunal - Mere reference to the recalled decision does not, ipso facto, render the finding to be bereft of value as precedent.
Reliance placed in the case of SHRIRAM LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY VERSUS CC, CE & ST, HYDERABAD –IV AND CC, CE & ST, RANGAREDDY –GST (VICE-VERSA) [2019 (2) TMI 868 - CESTAT HYDERABAD] where it was held that the transaction in question is not a service at all but the transaction in a actionable claim hence could not have been by any stretch of imagination covered under any of the specified taxable heads of service even for the period prior to 01.07.2012 - the demand of service tax on the surrender charges for the period in question is unsustainable.
Appeal allowed - decided in favor of appellant.

Refund of Cenvat Credit - Air Travel Agency Services - Short-term Hotel Accommodation Services - Cleaning Services - Pest Control Services - Krishi Kalyan Cess - HELD THAT:- Though, the authority below has denied the credit availed on these services alleging that these services have no nexus with the output services, the department has no case that the services were not availed by the appellants for the purpose of providing output services. As also, there is no evidence to establish that these services were used for personal consumption - From the documents furnished, it is convincing that these services have been availed by the appellants for export of their output services - Further, this issue is covered by the decision of the Tribunal in the appellant’s own case M/S. MAERSK GLOBAL SERVICE CENTRES (INDIA) PVT. LTD. VERSUS COMMISSIONER OF G.S.T & C.C.E, (CHENNAI OUTER) [2018 (7) TMI 1838 - CESTAT CHENNAI] - the rejection or refund of credit on these services is unjustified.
Short-term Hotel Accommodation Services are availed for the stay in hotel for attending workshop, seminars, meeting clients etc. - HELD THAT:- This is clear from documents in the nature of Hotel Invoice, e-mail etc. It is established that these are not used for personal consumption - appellant has relied on the decision in the case of M/S. GE MONEY FINANCIAL SERVICES P. LTD. VERSUS COMMISSIONER OF SERVICE TAX, CHENNAI [2019 (5) TMI 1569 - CESTAT CHANDIGARH] to argue that the said decision has held that the credit availed on Hotel Accommodation Services is eligible - refund of credit is to be allowed.
Cleaning Services - HELD THAT:- As these services are required to keep the premises of the appellants’ office in a clean and hygienic manner. So also, is the case with pest Control Services - the appellant is eligible for refund of credit on these two services.
Krishi Kalyan Cess - HELD THAT:- The learned counsel has fairly stated that the credit availed on Krishi Kalyan Cess is not eligible and that they are not contesting the same. The refund denied under this head is upheld.
Appeal allowed in part.

On perusal of definition of 'input service', it is found that the credit which has been excluded from the definition of input service under clause 2(A) are (a) construction or execution of works contract of a building or a civil structure or a part thereof; or (b) laying of foundation or making of structures for support of capital goods, except for the provision of one or more of the specified services. Construction or execution of works contract of a building or civil work only means service towards the construction of a new building especially civil structure work of the building or laying of foundation work for such building for support of capital goods whereas in the present case the nature of services so availed by the appellant was towards electrical works and modernisation of premises and it was not getting a new building constructed.
It is found that the circular No.943/4/2011-CX dt. 29/4/2011 provides that if the input services used for repair or renovation of the factory or the office, then cenvat credit is allowed and is covered by the definition of input service. Further it is found that since the appellants are engaged in export of software services wherein the human resource and infrastructure facility is availed in order to provide export of service and the services in dispute in the present case was essential for rendering export of service.
In the case of M/S MUSADDILAL PROJECTS LTD. VERSUS CCE, C & ST, HYDERABAD-I [2017 (4) TMI 951 - CESTAT HYDERABAD] an identical issue was considered and in para 15, the Tribunal has held that modernisation and renovation of the premises fall in the definition of input service - Similarly in the case of M/S MAHINDRA & MAHINDRA LTD.

VERSUS COMMISSIONER OF SERVICE TAX, NOIDA [2018 (7) TMI 1061 - CESTAT ALLAHABAD] - the department had elected to carry the said order in an appeal before the Supreme Court and hence the said decision had not attained finality - HELD THAT:- There are no reason to relegate the petitioner to the appellate remedy at this stage. In our opinion, interest of justice would be sufficiently served if a limited remand is ordered to the Commissioner (Appeals-III) for revisiting his decision based on the circumstance that the decision of the Customs, Excise and Service Tax Appellate Tribunal in M/S ICS FOOD PVT. LTD. VERSUS COMMISSIONER OF SERVICE TAX, NOIDA [2018 (7) TMI 1061 - CESTAT ALLAHABAD] has since attained finality.
If indeed the said decision has applicability to the facts and enures to the benefit of the petitioner, the Commissioner (Appeals-III) shall be at liberty to pass an appropriate order reversing his earlier decision which is impugned.

Refund of service tax paid - refund arose as a consequence of introduction of Section 104 of the Finance Act w.e.f. 31.03.2017 - rejection on the ground of non-submission of necessary documents - requirements under Section 11B of the Central Excise Act, 1944 as made applicable to Finance Act, 1944 vide Section 83 of the Act not complied with - N/N. 41/2016 dated 22.09.2016 - HELD THAT:- N/N. 41/2016 dated 22.09.2016 has exempted taxable service provided by the State Government Industrial Development Corporation/Undertakings to industrial units by way of granting long term lease on industrial plot from so much of service tax leviable thereon under Section 66B of the said Act, as is leviable on the one time upfront amount payable for such lease. Vide Section 104 (1), exemption was provided from said services for the period from 01.06.2007 to 21.09.2016 and it was provided that the refund claim should be filed within a period of six months from the date from which Finance Act, 2017 is promulgated and come into force.
In the present case, the appellant filed the refund claim within time and the only ground for which the refund was rejected by the Original Authority and upheld by the Appellate Authority is that the appellant did not produce sufficient documents in the form of invoices/bills showing that they have paid the service tax to KINFRA. During the pendency of the appeal, the appellant filed various invoices/bills issued by KINFRA showing the payment of service tax by the appellant for which the refund claim has been filed by the appellant.
Further KINFRA has also issued a certificate dated 02.02.2021 certifying that they have not availed any CENVAT credit on the service tax paid by the appellant. Further, these bills/invoices issued by KINFRA clearly show the payment of service tax by the appellant to KINFRA and KINFRA in turn has paid the same to the Government. Though these invoices/bills were not produced before the Original Authority but various Challans issued by KINFRA were produced along with worksheets showing the payment of service tax to KINFRA by the appellant.
In view of the facts that now the appellants have produced sufficient documents to prove the payment of service tax, there are no justification for rejection of the refund claim - appeal allowed - decided in favor of appellant.
