2016 (2) TMI 370 - AT - Service TaxRefund - unjust enrichment - the impugned amount was deducted by Revenue from the refunds of Bharat heavy electricals Ltd in terms of the powers under section 87 (d) of Finance Act 1994 and BHEL recovered the said amount from the appellant by deducting the same from the payments due to the appellant for providing security services - Held that:- . It is also not in dispute that by virtue of the above referred exemption order issued by the Ministry of Finance the respondent was not liable to pay the said amount service tax which was recovered by adjustment from the refunds of Bharat Heavy Electricals Ltd. which in turn recovered it from the respondent. Consequently it clearly became eligible for the refund of the said amount as the burden was borne by the respondent. Further Bharat Heavy Electricals Ltd pays crores of rupees of duty in cash and therefore it really is of no consequence whether the amount of refund was to be given to it by credit to its Cenvat account in cash because this issue becomes important only in those cases where the assessee does not pay any duty in cash and is able to discharge all its liabilities out of CENVAT credit. - Refund allowed - Decided against the revenue.
