Agenda Item No. 7:Procedure to be followed by the Units in VSEZ for claiming refund of service tax paid by the Units for the authorized operations.

Some Units in VSEZ have expressed difficulties in obtaining refund of Service Tax from the Jurisdictional Central Excise authorities. Development Commissioner, VSEZ opined that lack of knowledge of procedures to be followed in submitting claims could be the reason. Hence he suggested that Central Excise authorities may like to conduct a workshop/training class to all the SEZ units/Developers at VSEZ Administrative Building on a convenient date to the Central Excise Authorities. The Central Excise Authorities agreed to the suggestion and stated that they would indicate the suitable date shortly.
