Mr Jay, As you have explained some(Rs150000)input tax credit was claimed and refund was paid by the department by accepting your return as correct initially. Later on verifying the records of the dealer it was found that the return of the dealer was wrong and the refund claim also.Therefore, as the reund received was illegal it was demanded back by the department with interest and penalty.The action taken by the department is correct.
