Hasmukh Tobacco Products vs Ahmedabad-Ii on 7 February, 2023

6. Being aggrieved, Revenue filed the present appeal on the ground that under the erstwhile Section 35FF (as substituted by way of amendment w.e.f. 6-8-2014), interest is payable on filing of refund claim, if not granted within three months from the date of receipt of the appellate order. As the show cause notice was issued to the assessee prior to 6-8-2014, the erstwhile Section 35FF will be applicable. It is further urged that the amount deposited in the year 2015 is not by way of pre-deposit, as 6 Excise Appeal Nos. 10828 & 10957 of 2021-SM defined in Section 35F of the Act. Reliance is placed on the ruling of Hon'ble Gujarat High Court in the case of Ajni Interiors v. UoI, wherein it has been held that if any payment is made as a pre-condition for exercising the statutory right, it can be termed as pre-deposit. However, it cannot be equated with voluntary deposit of Excise duty paid even during the course of investigation and prior to show cause notice or adjudication to assert that it is pre-deposit. Further, reliance is placed on the finding of the Adjudicating Authority.
