Nandakumar, AC (AR) ORDER Brief facts are that the appellants are providing Consulting Engineering and Information Technology Software Service. They filed refund claim for ₹ 8,54,696/- for the period Apr. 15 to Mar. 16 on 21.01.2017 under Rule 5 of Cenvat Credit Rules, 2004 for refund of unutilized Cenvat credit.
