THE Revenue, by delaying the refund, is actually incurring an additional expenditure since it has to pay interest on the amount of refund as well as delayed refund - This may not, in the larger context, be in the best of interests of the Revenue itself - costs ordered for undue delay in refunds

A mechanical invocation of the power under Section 245 irrespective of the fact situation, can lead to misuse of the power by the Revenue in order to delay the refund till such time a fresh demand for the subsequent assessment years is finalized

If reasonable time limits are not set for the processing of and disposal of an application for refund by the Revenue, it may result in the assessee not being able to get the refund at all.

The mere fact that appeals are pending in the High Court is not by itself a sufficient ground for denying the refund : HC;
