Hi Bhavik The procedure of Service tax refund is as per notification no 17/2009 most of things would get cleared when you read the notification
I would give procedure in breif Some points to be check here are
- that no cenvat should be claimed by exporter - exporter has paid the service tax - Should be register with CENTRAL EXCISE Act 1944 ( not Service tax department)
Then he should file Refund Claim in Form A - 1
And fulfil the condition provided in the notification
Even without going through the exact text of the Notification No. 17/2009, whether it is logical to impose Central excise registration without carrying out any manufacturing activities for getting refund under the subjected notification.
So please reassess the advise.
For further query, feel free to write sanjayinfbd@yahoo.com (M-09350048731) or visit, HNO. 2489/8,Faridabad(Haryana).
