Cenvat Credit Refund Finality | Revenue’s Non-Appeal After Sanction Bars Re-Deduction : CESTAT Chandigarh
CESTAT Chandigarh rules that once a Cenvat credit refund is sanctioned and the revenue department does not appeal, the quantum becomes final and cannot be reopened for re-deduction. This protects manufacturers from retrospective clawbacks and reinforces the principle of finality in tax adjudication, benefiting cement and capital goods industries relying on captive consumption exemptions.
