Further, he states that the registration of service providers in a different category (CHA) is not material for grant of refund in the eligible category. 4.7.3 Accordingly, we allow this ground dismiss objection of Revenue. 4.8.1 The next ground of rejection, which is in Appeal No. ST/534/2010 is with respect to C F Agent Services on the ground that the said service was notified by way of amendment with effect from 07/12/2008.
