..... failed to put forth any reasons as to when the subject goods were initially removed in the unit quantity as Nos then why the entry of said returned goods in their register have only been made in the unit quantity as weight in MT .

..... goods. Thus on this ground the refund is not required to be rejected. Further, it is important to note that M/s Damodar Valley Corporation, Chandrapura Thermal Power Station, Chandrapura, Bokaro, Jharkhand and M/s Neyveli Lignite Corporation Limited are exempt from payment of GST therefore, the return of rejected goods are not supply in the hands of M/s Damodar Valley Corporation, Chandrapura Thermal Power Station, Chandrapura, Bokaro, Jharkhand and M/s Neyveli Lignite Corporation Limited. Consequently, the condition in the Section 142(1) of the CGST, 2017 is satisfied. 4. Personal hearing in all these matters was held on 29.11.2018 wherein Shri Pankaj Malik, Partner of M/s Pankaj Malik Co., appeared for personal hearing in the case on behalf of the appellant and reiterated the grounds of appeals mentioned in the appeal memorandum and requested to decide the case accordingly. 5.

I observe that there is a basic condition that the goods are identifiable to the satisfaction of the proper officer. But in the instant matter, the records have been so maintained that the proper officer is not in a position to ascertain the factual identification of returned goods from the records maintained by the appellant.

Thus this also creates a doubt. Therefore, I do not find any force in the contention of the appellant and hold that the appellant has in all fronts failed to establish that the goods are identifiable to the satisfaction of the proper officer. 7. The adjudicating authority has also rejected the refund claims on the reason that the receiver of the goods are registered with GSTN and therefore they were required to return the rejected goods to the appellant as supply in terms of sec .....
