Commnr. Of Sales Tax, U.P vs M\/S. Hind Lamps Ltd on 31 July, 2008<\/div>\n
Author: . A Pasayat<\/div>\n
Bench: Arijit Pasayat, Mukundakam Sharma<\/div>\n
                                                      REPORTABLE\n\n\n             IN THE SUPREME COURT OF INDIA\n\n              CIVIL APPELLATE JURISDICTION\n\n              CIVIL APPEAL NO. 4060 OF 2006\n\n\n\nCommnr. of Sales Tax, U.P.                      ...Appellant\n\n\n                     Versus\n\n\nM\/s Hind Lamps Ltd.                             ...Respondent\n\n\n\n\n                       JUDGMENT\n<\/pre>\n
Dr. ARIJIT PASAYAT, J.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
1.   Challenge in this appeal is to the judgment of a learned<\/p>\n
Single Judge of the Allahabad High Court allowing the Trade<\/p>\n
Tax Revision filed by the respondent (hereinafter referred to as<\/p>\n
the `assessee\/dealer’). The question involved lies within a very<\/p>\n
narrow compass, i.e. whether a dealer can make adjustment
\nwhile depositing tax on the basis of tax out, admitted to be<\/p>\n
payable, of certain amounts which according to him had been<\/p>\n
deposited in excess for some other assessment periods. The<\/p>\n
High Court held that it was permissible under the U.P. Trade<\/p>\n
Tax Act, 1948 (in short the `Act’) and U.P. Trade Tax Rules,<\/p>\n
1948 (in short the `Rules’).\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
2.   Background facts in a nutshell are as follows:<\/p>\n
     Dealer-respondent was required to pay tax in respect of<\/p>\n
returns filed for the months of April, May and August, 1977.<\/p>\n
In respect of the assessment years i.e. 1969-70 to 1971-72,<\/p>\n
appellant had filed appeals before the Assistant Commissioner<\/p>\n
(Judicial) Sales Tax, which were allowed and the matter was<\/p>\n
remanded for re-consideration of the Assessing Authority.<\/p>\n
     According to the dealer, the following amounts were to be<\/p>\n
refunded:\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
     1968-69 Rs.74,833\/-\n<\/p>\n
                                                            2<\/span>
\n     1969-70 Rs.95,506\/-\n<\/p>\n
     1970-71 Rs.1,35,666\/-\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
     1971-72 Rs.2,38,435\/-<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
     The dealer adjusted aforesaid amounts from the amounts<\/p>\n
payable as tax in respect of three months i.e. April, May and<\/p>\n
August, 1977. But, in the final assessment proceedings, the<\/p>\n
Assessing Officer refused to give credits of the amounts in his<\/p>\n
order dated 27.2.1982 on the ground that there was no<\/p>\n
provision for such adjustment and the dealer cannot itself<\/p>\n
adjust the amounts, if any, refundable to him. Consequently,<\/p>\n
interest for late payment was levied. The order was confirmed<\/p>\n
by the first Appellate Authority i.e. Deputy Commissioner<\/p>\n
(Appeals) Sales Tax, Agra. In appeal, the Sales Tax Tribunal,<\/p>\n
Agra, Bench (3) (hereinafter referred to as the `Tribunal’)<\/p>\n
affirmed the view of the Assessing Officer and first Appellate<\/p>\n
Authority.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
     The dealer carried the matter further by filing a Trade<\/p>\n
Tax Revision and as noted above, learned Single Judge held<\/p>\n
                                                           3<\/span>
\nthat it is open to the assessee to make the adjustment with<\/p>\n
reference to Section 29 of the Act.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
3.   Learned counsel for the Revenue submitted that the High<\/p>\n
Court clearly misconstrued the provisions contained in<\/p>\n
Section 29 of the Act and, therefore, the view of the Assessing<\/p>\n
Officer as affirmed by the first Appellate Authority and the<\/p>\n
Tribunal should not have been interfered with.<\/p>\n
4.   Learned counsel for the respondent on the other hand<\/p>\n
submitted that the assessee is entitled to refund and there is<\/p>\n
no reason as to why he cannot make adjustment.<\/p>\n
5.   Section 29 of the Act reads as follows:<\/p>\n
          “(1) The assessing authority shall, in the
\n          manner prescribed, refund to a dealer any
\n          amount of tax, fees of other dues paid in
\n          excess of the amount due from him under this
\n          Act.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
               Provided that the amount found to be
\n          refundable shall first be adjusted towards the
\n          tax or any other amount outstanding against<\/p>\n
                                                           4<\/span>
\n          the dealer under this Act or under the Central
\n          Sales Tax Act, 1956 and only the balance, if
\n          any, shall be refunded:\n<\/p>\n
          (2) If the amount found to be refundable in
\n          accordance with sub-section (1) is not
\n          refunded as aforesaid within three months
\n          from the date of order of refund passed by the
\n          Assessing authority or, as the case may be,
\n          from the date of receipt by him of the order of
\n          refund, if such order is passed by any other
\n          competent authority or court, the dealer shall
\n          be entitled to simple interest on such amount
\n          at the rate of eighteen percent per annum from
\n          the date of such order or, as the case may be,
\n          the date of receipt of such order of refund
\n          passed by the assessing authority to the date
\n          of refund.\n<\/p>\n
          Explanation-I<\/p>\n
          The date of refund shall be deemed to be the
\n          date    on    which    intimation  regarding
\n          preparation of the refund voucher is- sent to
\n          the dealer in manner prescribed.\n<\/p>\n
          Explanation -II<\/p>\n
          The   expression  “refund”   includes  any
\n          adjustment under the proviso to sub-Section
\n          (1).”\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
6.   The High Court referred to the proviso to sub-section (1)<\/p>\n
of Section 29 to hold that the amount found to be refundable<\/p>\n
                                                            5<\/span>
\nshall be first adjusted against the tax or any other amount<\/p>\n
outstanding against the dealer under the Act or the Central<\/p>\n
Sales Tax Act, 1956 (in short the `Central Act’).<\/p>\n
7.   The approach of the High Court is clearly erroneous. A<\/p>\n
bare reading of the proviso referred to shows that the amount<\/p>\n
must have been found to be refundable and due to be<\/p>\n
refunded.   No   authority   has   found   any amount       to be<\/p>\n
refundable. Stand of the dealer that since the matter was<\/p>\n
remanded by the appellate authority any amount paid beyond<\/p>\n
the admitted tax has to be construed as refundable. This plea<\/p>\n
is clearly untenable.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
8.   The expression used is “found to be refundable”. In other<\/p>\n
words, it must be as a result of adjudication. The amount has<\/p>\n
to be found to be refundable. In the instant case, there is no<\/p>\n
such adjudication. Even otherwise, the power of adjustment<\/p>\n
lies with the authority under the Statute.          While granting<\/p>\n
refund, he has to first find out whether there is any amount<\/p>\n
which has to be adjusted against tax or other amounts<\/p>\n
                                                               6<\/span>
\noutstanding against the dealer under the Act or the Central<\/p>\n
Act and the balance has to be refunded.         This power of<\/p>\n
adjustment lies only with the authority under the Statute. The<\/p>\n
dealer cannot make any adjustment on his own, and not<\/p>\n
certainly under the proviso to sub-section (1) of Section 29 of<\/p>\n
the Act as has been held by the High Court. The Explanation I<\/p>\n
makes the position further clear that the date of refund shall<\/p>\n
be deemed to be the date on which first intimation regarding<\/p>\n
preparation of the refund voucher is sent to the dealer in the<\/p>\n
prescribed manner. Obviously, therefore, date of refund is<\/p>\n
relatable to the intimation regarding the preparation of the<\/p>\n
refund voucher. Explanation II shows that the expression<\/p>\n
“refund” includes the adjustment which is permissible under<\/p>\n
the proviso to sub-section (1). It is to be noted that the<\/p>\n
manner in which the refund has to be granted is provided in<\/p>\n
Rules 89 and 90 appearing in Chapter XV.<\/p>\n
9.   That being so, the High Court was not justified in its view<\/p>\n
in holding that the dealer could itself make adjustment of<\/p>\n
amount.\n<\/p>\n
                                                            7<\/span>\n<\/p>\n
10.   The appeal filed by the appellant deserves to be allowed<\/p>\n
which we direct. However, there shall be no order as to costs.<\/p>\n
