..... 2013 - In appeal no. E/13077/2018 pertains to the period April 13 to June 13 and refund claim was filed on 09.04.14. In these circumstances it is seen that in both these cases the refund has been filed more or less within one year of limitation, the exact period of limitation would depend on the dates when the exports were made. The appellants would be entitled to refund in respect of exports made from 4.10.12 onwards in case of Appeal No. E/13076/2018 and from 9.4.2013 onwards in case of Appeal No. E/13077/2018.

..... t all. Learned counsel also attached the ER2 return for the month of January-2014 wherein at the end in the remark column there is a mention about the amount/period wise credit reversal for refund purposes. Learned Counsel further relied on the decision of tribunal in the case of SANDOZ PVT. LTD. 2015 (325) E.L.T. 387 (Tri.Mumbai) wherein it was held that even belated reversal of credit is good enough compliance for the purpose of refund under Rule 5 of the Cenvat Credit Rules, 2004.

..... on No. 27/2012 CE (NT) dated 18.6.2012. He pointed out that the appellants have claimed the benefit as per section 142(6) of CGST, 2017. He argued that this argument was not raised in the earlier proceedings before tribunal and he further argued that this tribunal has no jurisdiction to adjudicate on the CGST matters. 4.

I find that issue involved is whether the appellant is entitled for the refund under Rule 5 during the period April, 2015 to June, 2015.
