Pre-trial detention in alleged fraudulent input tax credit cases must not become punitive where trial delay and risk factors favour bail.
Case-Laws
GST
Pre-trial detention in alleged fraudulent input tax credit offences is not punitive and should secure the accused's presence at trial. Bail was considered appropriate where the offence was triable by a Magistrate with a maximum five-year sentence, investigation was complete, no charge had been framed, trial was unlikely to conclude promptly, and the accused had no criminal antecedents. In the absence of exceptional circumstances or material indicating absconding, repeat offending, witness intimidation, or evidence tampering, bail was granted subject to conditions requiring cooperation with trial and non-interference with evidence or witnesses.

Effective communication of GST orders justified condoning appeal delay and requiring merits adjudication within the court-directed period.
Case-Laws
GST
Effective communication of a GST adjudication order is examined in relation to delay in filing a statutory appeal where the order was uploaded only on the GST portal. The notes state that, although the Appellate Authority is bound by the limitation period under Section 107 of the RGST/CGST Act, delay may be condoned where circumstances beyond the taxpayer's control prevented timely filing and denial of merits adjudication would cause grave prejudice. The appeal was directed to be entertained and decided on merits if filed within the period specified by the Court.

Reasoned GST registration cancellation orders and a hearing are mandatory; unreasoned ex parte action requires fresh adjudication.
Case-Laws
GST
GST registration cancellation requires a reasoned quasi-judicial order that shows application of mind and complies with Article 14 where it adversely affects the right to carry on business. An unreasoned ex parte cancellation order issued without an opportunity of hearing is unsustainable. The High Court quashed the cancellation and appellate orders, permitted a reply to the show-cause notice, and directed fresh adjudication after hearing the parties and considering the defence.

Case-Laws
GST
Bona fide GST return errors involving invoices reported under a GST TDS GSTIN rather than the regular GSTIN may be rectified where the correction causes no revenue loss and is necessary to enable input tax credit consideration. The text states that portal limitations on altering filed entries do not, by themselves, justify refusal of rectification. It also notes that retrospective relaxation of the input tax credit time limit for the relevant financial year supported the request. Amendment or rectification of GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B was directed through online or manual means within four weeks.

Refund rejection requires prior notice of the decisive objection, despite authority to examine consequential relief impediments.
Case-Laws
GST
A refund claim for excess service tax cannot be rejected on an objection not disclosed to the assessee through a show cause notice. Although a Tribunal finding of refund eligibility with consequential relief does not require automatic disbursement and permits examination of legal impediments, including notification conditions and unjust enrichment, the adjudicating authority must give the assessee an opportunity to respond to any objection concerning tax paid on an abated value while CENVAT credit was availed. The High Court quashed the rejection and required fresh adjudication after notice, hearing and a reasoned order.

Section 62(2) of the GST law provides for deemed withdrawal of a best-judgment assessment when the registered person files the required returns within the prescribed framework; delayed filing requires payment of the applicable late fee. The note records that, following amendment of the provision, delay in filing GSTR-3B may be condoned where the relevant returns and late fee have been furnished. In the described matter, the assessments were treated as deemed withdrawn, and consequential recovery proceedings and attachments of immovable property were rendered ineffective.

Section 62(2) of the CGST Act provides that a best-judgment assessment for non-filing of a return is deemed withdrawn where the registered person furnishes a valid return within the prescribed period after service of the assessment order, although interest and late-fee liability continues.

Case-Laws
GST
Interest and penalty for delayed payment of CGST and SGST were made subject to verification of the taxpayer's claim that tax dues had already been discharged through adjustment of input tax credit within the permissible period. The High Court directed the competent authority to examine that claim and determine whether any interest or penalty remained payable. The taxpayer may submit a representation for expeditious decision, and recovery under the challenged order and notice remains stayed until the representation is disposed of.

New Delhi, Aug 4 (PTI) The government will continue to adopt appropriate fiscal and administrative measures to mitigate the impact of future fuel price volatility while maintaining fiscal sustainability, Minister of State for Finance Pankaj Chaudhary said on Tuesday.

Since the beginning of the West Asia conflict, PSU OMCs have marginally increased the retail prices of petrol and diesel despite sharp increases in international crude oil prices, he said in a written reply to the Rajya Sabha.

Brent crude oil prices peaked at USD 138.2 per barrel in April 2026, exerting upward pressure on global energy prices and domestic producer prices. However, to protect consumers, the government limited the increase in domestic retail prices of petrol and diesel to a marginal level, he said.

“The Government will continue to adopt appropriate fiscal and administrative measures to mitigate the impact of future fuel price volatility while maintaining fiscal sustainability,” Chaudhary said.

Doctrine of merger does not arise from SLP dismissal, while challenges remain premature until remanded issues are decided.
Case-Laws
GST
Dismissal of a special leave petition does not, by itself, merge the High Court decision into the Supreme Court order or create a binding Supreme Court adjudication on exemption of affiliation fees. Applying the doctrine stated in Kunhayammed, the note records that the earlier dismissal did not establish the claimed exemption. It further explains that a challenge to a Division Bench reference order is premature where residual issues have been remanded to a Single Judge. The petitioner may challenge any prejudicial subsequent order together with the reference decision, while a favourable intervening Supreme Court ruling may be placed before the Single Judge and would prevail over the reference finding.

Jurisdictional challenges to GST adjudication may bypass alternative remedies, requiring the adjudicating authority to decide its competence first.
Case-Laws
GST
A writ petition raising a pure jurisdictional challenge, without disputed factual issues, may be entertained despite an available statutory appeal. Where the competence of the GST investigation officer to issue a show-cause notice and adjudicate input tax credit proceedings is questioned, the adjudicating authority must first determine its own jurisdiction. Because the jurisdictional grounds had not been raised before that authority, the High Court did not decide them on merits. It quashed the adjudication and appellate orders, including consequential steps, and remanded the matter for fresh reasoned adjudication after allowing all grounds to be raised, with jurisdiction to be decided first.

Uploading a show-cause notice or adjudication order solely in the Common Portal's 'View Additional Notices and Orders' tab is not valid service where the assessee neither acknowledges it nor responds. The notes state that the retrospective amendment permitting CGST Rules functions through the portal does not prescribe the portal as a service mode and cannot replace formal service where civil consequences follow. An ex parte order based on portal-only upload should result in restoration of proceedings to the show-cause-notice stage. For an order passed after contest but uploaded only on the portal, the limitation period for appeal does not begin.

Input tax credit pass-through in ongoing housing projects covers all eligible buyers, with recipient-specific refunds and interest payable.
Case-Laws
GST
Input tax credit benefits in ongoing real estate projects must be passed to all eligible purchasers, including those booking flats after GST where construction continued beyond its introduction. The benefit is project-specific, and renegotiated prices do not establish a commensurate reduction without transparent evidence. Unpassed amounts must be refunded to identified homebuyers rather than deposited in the Consumer Welfare Fund; excess benefit given to some purchasers cannot be set off against amounts due to others. Profiteering includes GST charged on an inflated base price. Interest accrues from each purchaser's last instalment payment until refund. Anti-profiteering penalties do not apply where the completed contravention predated the penalty provision's commencement.

GST
The penalty-only pre-deposit proviso to section 112(8) of the CGST Act applies prospectively from 1 October 2025. The text states that, because the impugned appellate order predated that effective date and the amendment did not expressly or necessarily imply retrospective operation, the pre-deposit condition could not attach to a substantive right of appeal arising from proceedings instituted earlier. Accordingly, no pre-deposit was required for admission of the penalty-only GST appeal, without affecting the merits or any direction at final hearing.

GST
Regular bail in alleged fraudulent input tax credit cases was considered appropriate where the prosecution relied mainly on electronic and documentary material already appended to the complaint, reducing the risk of tampering or witness influence. The notes state that the allegations required trial scrutiny, while the offences carried a maximum five-year sentence; the petitioners had substantial custody, no criminal antecedents, and social roots. Referring to Supreme Court guidance where investigation was complete and trial delay was likely, the HC granted regular bail subject to bonds, sureties, and conditions ensuring attendance and non-interference with the trial.

Uploading a GST show-cause notice or adjudication order only in the 'View Additional Notices and Orders' tab of the Common Portal is not sufficient service unless the taxpayer acknowledges receipt or responds.

If no reply was filed and an ex parte order followed, proceedings must be restored to the notice stage.

Case-Laws
GST
Transitional CENVAT credit reflected as an undisputed closing balance under the erstwhile service tax regime cannot be reassessed or denied through CGST proceedings merely because its original availment is alleged to have been inadmissible. The notes explain that recovery for wrongful pre-GST CENVAT credit must proceed under the saved provisions of the erstwhile law, not under the CGST Act. They further address transition of Krishi Kalyan Cess credit through TRAN-1, noting the relevance of unoperationalised transitional explanations and applicable High Court guidance. VAT credit on stock-in-trade is described as transitionable where required particulars were furnished and no specific adverse material supports denial. Penalty based solely on TRAN-1 disclosures is also treated as unjustified.

Additional input tax credit must reduce flat prices; pending anti-profiteering proceedings continue despite future-request restrictions or unstayed constitutional challenges.
Case-Laws
GST
Section 171(1) requires suppliers to pass additional input tax credit to recipients through a commensurate reduction in price. In a real-estate project, additional GST credit may be determined against available pre-GST credit using project records and apportioned by saleable area; failure to prove that the resulting benefit reached eligible homebuyers supports a finding of profiteering. A notification stopping acceptance of fresh anti-profiteering requests operates prospectively and does not, without express provision, terminate pending investigations or adjudications. The pendency of a constitutional challenge does not suspend application of the prevailing law unless a stay order covers the provision or proceedings. Applicable interest may accompany quantified benefit, while penalty depends on whether the penalty provision was in force during the contravention period.

Chandigarh, Aug 1 (PTI) Punjab Finance Minister Harpal Singh Cheema on Saturday said the state's gross GST revenue grew by 20 per cent during the first four months of the 2026-27 financial year to Rs 10,447.9 crore, compared with Rs 8,708.48 crore in the corresponding period last year.

In a statement, Cheema attributed the increase to improved tax compliance, intelligence-based enforcement and technology-driven tax administration.

He said Punjab collected gross GST revenue of Rs 2,614.45 crore in July 2026, up 8.31 per cent from Rs 2,413.91 crore collected in July last year.

The minister said the state's SGST cash collection

Cheema said a major action during the month involved registration of an FIR in Jalandhar in connection with an alleged bogus billing scam involving transactions worth about Rs 55.35 crore. The main accused was arrested under the Punjab GST Act, he added.

The minister said the department had also launched a campaign against fake GST registrations obtained by misusing Rule 14A. Following field verification and scrutiny, more than 100 GST registrations were cancelled to prevent fraudulent claims and misuse of the registration s
