Mistaken duty payment due to ERP error - Refund claim's time limit based on initial filing, not re-filing, allowed by Tribunal.

Case Laws     Central Excise

October 28, 2024

The appellant's Daman unit mistakenly paid duty liability of their Halol unit due to an error in the ERP system meant for all group units. The issue pertains to determining the date for computing the one-year time limit u/s 11B for filing a refund application - whether it should be the initial filing date or the subsequent re-filing date after the department returned the initial application. The Tribunal held that since the appellant initially filed the refund claim within one year, the date of first filing should be considered, rendering the refund application not time-barred. Relying on the Gujarat High Court's judgment in Auro Pumps Private Ltd, the Tribunal ruled that the duty paid in excess is refundable. The Commissioner (Appeals)'s order was set aside, and the appeal was allowed, with the Tribunal affirming the Commissioner (Appeals)'s power to remand matters based on amendments to the Central Excise Act, 1944.
