Canara Bank — Not ready for refund of VAT Interest amount which taken but not given to MVAT

Address:

Satara, Maharashtra

Cananra bank is one of the eligible bank to whom we can give VAT payment and they transfer it to government (MVAT). In 2011 we paid tax on time to canara bank(Wagholi branch) but the person available that time did not paid the VAT to government. When we paid amount to bank we have taken VAT paid Challan from the bank. After six month bank reversed all the trasactions and transfer the VAT amount to our account, then we paid same to MVAT. Now sales tax office pune, has sent notice to me for payment of the interest for those six months for which we gave money to bank but bank not given government, also one notice went to canara bank saying bank has to refund the amount to us. Now bank is saying they are not going to reimburse the interest amount to us. Any help will be appreciable. Thanks, Arihant Pharmacon, Wagholi. [protected]
