Analysis: The issue in dispute revolves around the eligibility of credit of service tax paid on the freight for outward transportation of goods up to the buyer's premises. The Ld. A.R representing the department reiterated the grounds of appeal, highlighting that a previous batch of appeals on the same issue had been remanded back to the appellate authority for fresh examination. The respondent was absent and not represented during the proceedings. The Tribunal acknowledged the correctness of the Ld. A.R's assertion regarding the remand of the issue in a previous Final Order dated 13.03.2019. The Tribunal cited relevant legal precedents, including the decisions in the cases of Ultra Tech Cement Ltd. and Roofit Industries Ltd., to emphasize the importance of determining the place of removal in cases where the sale is on a FOR basis. The Tribunal referred to a circular issued by the Board clarifying that in FOR basis sales, the place of removal is considered to be the buyer's premises. Consequently, the Tribunal decided to remand the present appeal to the appellate authority for fresh adjudication, following the same directions as provided in the earlier Final Order. In conclusion, the Tribunal allowed the appeal by way of remand, directing the appellate authority to reexamine the issue of eligibility of credit on GTA service after determining the place of removal. The decision was dictated and pronounced in court, emphasizing the need for a de novo adjudication in the matter.
