Therefore, the finding recorded by the first appellate authority on this point is correct and does not require any in curtains. - Decided against the revenue - APPEAL No. ST/85128/15-MUM, ST/CO/91061/15-Mum - Final Order Nos.

It is also his submission that filing of the refund claim under rule 5 also to needs to read with limitation as prescribed under provisions of section 11B of the Central Excise Act, 1944; would mean that in this case assessee has filed two refund claim beyond one year and the findings that there is curtailment of period as has been recorded by the first appellate authority is erroneous.

I find that the first appellate authority has considered the entire issue in its correct perspective while allowing the appeal filed before him. I reproduce the relevant findings. 14. As per the definition of Export turnover of services', as contained in clause (D) of new Rule 5(1) of the CCR, for calculating export turnover of services, only following components are to be included in Export turnover of services .

Similarly, advance payments received before 01-04-2012 but services exported after 01-04-2012 shall be considered while filing a claim governed by the substituted (new) Rule 5 of the CCR. In case of advance payments received before 01-04-2012 but services exported after 01-04-2012, the said services are specifically included in the Export Turnover of services, as explained above, as per the new Rule 5. Further, the said services/payments were not to be considered for Export Turnover under the erstwhile Notification 05/2006-CE (N.T.) and the erstwhile Rule 5 of the CCR. Thus, I find that there is synergy between the provisions of earlier Notification 05/2006-CE (N.T.) and the new Notification No. 272012-CE .....

Thus, I find that the Export Turnover of services' is ₹ 4,86,32,973/- (Rs. NIL + ₹ 4,86,32,973/-). The Appellant have calculated the Export Turnover of services' at ₹ 9,57,65,100/- which is found incorrect. 16. I also find that the Appellant have also included the following invoices for calculating Export Turnover of services' as below: Against services exported before 01-04-2012, but payments received during July to September 2012: .....
