However the GST Model Law 2016 which has been released by The Government leaves a lot to be desired and should be analysed with a tooth comb. We will try to analyse some parts of the Law in our Workshop on Friday, 5 th August 2016. We have also arranged a dedicated session on ^IT aspe
ts of G“T and interfa
e with G“TN_ . We feel a robust IT infrastructure would be a pre-condition for successful implementation of GST. It may well be the differentiator!! In Central Excise, the Department has issued various notifications for articles of jewellery or parts of article s of jewellery or both, falling under heading 7113 of the Central Excise Tariff Act. The Central Excise Rules, 2002 and CENVAT Credit Rules, 2004 have been amended accordingly. These notifications have been covered comprehensively further in the issue. In Service Tax , the Government has reiterated Rule 3 of the Rules of 2008 (read with paragraph 2 (iii) of the Circular dated 1st July, 2008) and directed that it is mandatory for the authority to issue a 15 days notice before attaching a property. The non-compliance may lead to legal proceedings against the officers. In Customs, i

v the case of Kunj Power Project Pvt. Ltd. v UoI [2016 (41) S.T.R 3 (All)], the order directing attachment of the property without waiting for a reply to the show cause notice, and without giving any opportunity and without giving any notice, is in gross violation of Rule 3 of the Rules of 2008 read with paragraph 2 (iii) of the Circular dated 1 st July, 2008. It is also emphasized that non-compliance with the above rule will leave officers with no defence in legal proceedings. PERMISSION TO PAY SERVICE TAX THROUGH NO N ELECTRONIC MODES OUR COMMENTS : As per Rule 6(2) of the Service Tax Rules, 1994, although every assessee shall pay service tax electronically through internet banking, the jurisdictional Deputy/Assistant Commissioner, may, for reasons allow the assessee to deposit service tax by any other mode. The Department of Posts have informed that in certain jurisdictions, officers are not allowing them permission to pay by cheque even in deserving cases. The purpose of giving discretion in the law is getting defeated. Hence, The CBEC (Dept. of Revenue), Ministry of Finance, Government of India vide F.No 137/08/2013-Service Tax dated 22.07.2016 has reiterated Rule 6(2) and directed that the discretion vested in the jurisdictional Deputy/Assistant Commissioner under rule 6(2) of the Service Tax Rules, 1994, should be exercised judiciously and rationally so that there are no unwarranted refusals. COURT DECISIONS BHARATH AUTO CARS PVT LTD VERSUS COMMISSIONER OF CENTRAL EXCISE AND SERVICE TAX MANGALORE [CESTAT BANGALORE] BRIEF: An assessee is not required to submit written protest for refund against each payment of service tax for the subject services not liable for payment of service tax. OUR COMMENTS : In the above case, the assessee is providing subject services namely free services for the automobiles sold under warranty. The warranty charges are taken from the customers at the time of sale/purchase of the vehicles and the amount of sales tax/VAT is paid under written protest for refund. Later, the refund is sanctioned by the Department. However, refund was not sanctioned by the Department for a particular period on the ground that that assessee did not make payment of service tax for the said period under protest. Accordingly, the refund claim filed after the expiry of one year from the relevant date is time barred under provisions of Section 11 B of the Central Excise Act 1944. The Hon’
le CE“TAT held that here was a continuing deemed protest by the assessee for the service tax paid for the subject services. The Department has already paid the refund amount for the same services for the earlier periods as the service tax was not chargeable. It is not understood that why the Department is insisting on separate written protest for each payment against the said services which were not li able for payment of service tax. Hence, the assessee is entitled to this refund of this amount of service tax.

Each area has the provisions directly from the Statue in the beginning and detailed discussions on the provisions in the form of questions and answers thereafter. Since litigations on the subject have been manifold, we have also covered judicial pronouncements extensively.
