Dear Nandan Kumar RoyYou would have paid 1.5% deemed ocean freight cost during import as BCD and CVD. But under service tax, you will have to pay under RCM. This leads to double taxation on the Ocean Freight which is not constitutionally valid. You can either fight the case legally or pay the necessary tax and claim credit. If the amount involved is huge, please fight the case since it is not constitutionally valid to charge tax on the same item twice.
