Alternative appellate remedy under GST leads to writ petitions being relegated to appeal with delay condonation
Case-Laws
GST
Alternative appellate remedy under GST was treated as the proper course where input tax credit orders were challenged for alleged irregular availment due to belated GSTR filings. The High Court declined to examine the writ petitions on merits and relegated the petitioner to the statutory appellate remedy. It granted liberty to file appeals within two weeks with pre-deposit and delay condonation applications, allowed all legal and factual grounds including later rectification contentions, and left delay to be considered by the appellate authority before any decision on merits.

Show cause notice jurisdiction: GST applicability to an offshore construction contract required factual inquiry, so writ relief was premature.
Case-Laws
GST
Interference with a show cause notice is unwarranted unless it is ex facie without jurisdiction. Here, the GST dispute over an offshore construction contract turned on factual questions, including local procurement, shipments from the India office, and consolidation of Mauritius site accounts in the Indian company's financials. Those features had a bearing on the territorial applicability of GST, so the notice was not patently without jurisdiction and could not be quashed in writ proceedings as premature. The cited advance-ruling decision was distinguished because it did not arise from a writ challenge to a notice on disputed facts.

Territorial jurisdiction in GST writs turns on where the impugned assessment order arose and cause of action accrued.
Case-Laws
GST
Territorial jurisdiction in writ proceedings depends on where the cause of action arises, and a GST assessment challenge must be filed before the forum connected with the impugned order. Here, the assessment order was passed by the proper officer at Chandigarh, and the dispute stemmed from the return filed there, so no part of the cause of action arose within Patna HC's jurisdiction. The petitioner's lease of parking space at Patna was held insufficient to confer jurisdiction. The writ petition was therefore not maintainable, with liberty to approach the competent forum.

Voluntary GST payment through DRC-03 requires self-ascertainment; a search-time deposit was refundable, with interest left open.
Case-Laws
GST
A payment made during search proceedings is not voluntary merely because it is routed through Form GST DRC-03; for Section 74(5) to apply, the record must show independent self-ascertainment or prior ascertainment of liability. On the facts described, no notice had been issued, the search was still continuing, and the petitioner's records and devices remained under departmental control, so the deposit was treated as involuntary and refundable. The declaration in DRC-03 and the absence of DRC-04 were only relevant circumstances, not conclusive proof of voluntariness. Interest on the refund was left open because tax liability had not yet been finally adjudicated.

Anti-profiteering in real estate: remaining profiteered amount refunded with interest, while prospective penalty was held inapplicable.
Case-Laws
GST
In a real estate anti-profiteering matter, the Tribunal accepted the DGAP report in full because the respondent unconditionally accepted the methodology, quantification and contravention finding, and the remaining profiteered amount for the period up to receipt of the Occupancy Certificate was ordered to be refunded to eligible homebuyers. It also upheld interest on the profiteered amount, holding that interest is payable from the dates of excess collection until actual refund. The penalty provision was held inapplicable because the alleged profiteering had ended before Section 171(3A) came into force, so no penalty was payable.

Limitation for GST fraud proceedings and parallel-enforcement bar shape validity of a composite demand-cum-show-cause notice
Case-Laws
GST
Notification extending the annual return due date for 2017-18 did not extend the department's time to initiate Section 74 fraud proceedings; no separate extension notification for Section 74 was shown, and the March 2021 communication was only a scrutiny notice, not a valid show cause notice. For 2018-19 and 2019-20, parallel CGST proceedings on excess availment of input tax credit were barred where SGST had already initiated action on the same subject matter, making that part of the notice without jurisdiction. The short-payment component, however, was distinct from the SGST mismatch proceedings and could be pursued. The composite order was set aside and remitted for fresh adjudication only on the issues lawfully open to the authority.

Maintainability of writ challenge to GST notice fails where defect was not first raised before authority
Case-Laws
GST
A writ challenge to a GST show cause notice was not entertained where the petitioner had not shown that any objection to the alleged defect in FORM GST DRC-01 had first been raised before the competent authority. The record also contained a signed notice issued by the Deputy Commissioner, which undermined the unsigned-notice objection. The court therefore declined to examine the grievance in writ jurisdiction and left the petitioner free to point out any defect before the authority concerned.

Voluntary GST payment during search defeats coercion claim; delayed DRC-04 and refund rejection upheld as valid.
Case-Laws
GST
Allegations of coercive GST recovery during search failed where panchnamas, the written undertaking and recorded answers showed the taxpayer admitted the liability, agreed to pay after temporary registration, and stated the statement was made without pressure or threat; prolonged silence without complaint also undermined the coercion plea. FORM GST DRC-04 issued later was treated as mere acknowledgment of voluntary payment, with no prescribed time limit and no prejudice shown. Refund was unavailable because the tax, interest and penalty had been voluntarily discharged on the basis of search material, and refund lies only where tax was not payable or was paid in excess.

Blocked input tax credit on construction of immovable property upheld; extended limitation and Section 74 invocation sustained.
Case-Laws
GST
Blocked input tax credit on construction of immovable property remained unavailable where the taxpayer was engaged in renting immovable property, used works contract services for construction, and the credit fell within clauses (c) and (d) of Section 17(5). The Court also treated the claim as belated because the credit was not taken within the statutory time limit under Section 16. It held that a unilateral letter proposing availment did not amount to departmental approval, and that availing a much larger credit without concurrence justified invocation of fraud and suppression, the extended limitation period, and Section 74. The challenge to the common notice covering multiple tax periods also failed.

Natural justice in GST fraud demands: taxpayer must get a fair chance to prove genuine supply before Section 74 is applied.
Case-Laws
GST
Reasonable opportunity must be given before a fraud-based GST demand is confirmed where input tax credit has already been reversed and revenue interest is otherwise protected. The HC held that the petitioner could not be denied the chance to produce material documents to show genuine supply of goods and to challenge the invocation of Section 74. The impugned order was interfered with only to that limited extent, and the matter was remitted for fresh reconsideration after giving the petitioner a fair opportunity. No finding was returned on the merits of the underlying tax dispute.

Reason to believe for GST arrest upheld where material showed evasion and custodial interrogation was needed
Case-Laws
GST
Approval for arrest under the CGST Act does not require final adjudication of tax liability; it is enough that recorded material creates a reason to believe that an offence under section 132 has been committed. The approving authority relied on employee and recipient statements, transporter data, CCTV footage, melting reports, tally data and seized records, so the arrest approval was not mechanical. In assessing bail, the accused's failure to answer summons, failure to produce promised particulars and retraction of an earlier statement led the court to find that he was unlikely to cooperate without custodial interrogation. Given the stage of investigation, alleged gravity and antecedents, bail was refused.

.

Q8. What is a Bill-from/Dispatch-from transaction?

A Bill-from/Dispatch-from transaction is one where billing is between the supplier and the buyer, but goods are dispatched from a third-party location. For example, A Ltd. bills B Ltd., but goods are dispatched from C Ltd. to B Ltd.

Q9. What is a Combination transaction?

A Combination transaction involves both Bill-to/Ship-to and Bill-from/Dispatch-from features. Billing is between the supplier and buyer, but goods are dispatched from a third party and delivered to a fourth party. For example, A Ltd. bills B Ltd., but goods move from C Ltd. to D Ltd. on the instruction of B Ltd.

Q10. Can Bill-to GSTIN and Ship-to GSTIN be the same in a Bill-to/Ship-to transaction?

No. In a Bill-to/Ship-to transaction, the Bill-to party and Ship-to party are expected to be distinct persons. Accordingly, the same GSTIN as mentioned in the Bill-to field should not be entered in the Ship-to GSTIN field.

Example 1 – Correct Bill-to/Sh

No. Ship-to GSTIN shall not be printed on the e-Way Bill generated on the e-Way Bill portal.

Q12. Will Ship-to GSTIN be provided through GET e-Way Bill APIs?

No. Ship-to GSTIN shall not be provided through the GET e-Way Bill APIs.

Q13. What will continue to be visible on the e-Way Bill?

The relevant Ship-to address and PIN code shall continue to be shown as per the existing practice.

Q14. Who will be able to view the Ship-to GSTIN?

Ship-to GSTIN will be captured in the system for official purposes. It will be visible only to authorised officers for verification and enforcement purposes.

Q15. How is trade secrecy protected?

Trade secrecy is protected by ensuring that Ship-to GSTIN is captured in the system backend but is not printed on the e-Way Bill, is not displayed to taxpayers or transporters, and is not shared through GET e-Way Bill APIs.

sed officers.

5. Export and Merchant Exporter Scenarios

Q20. How does Bill-to/Ship-to arise in export transactions?

In export transactions, the goods may be billed to an overseas buyer, while the goods are physically moved from the supplier's premises in India to a port, airport, ICD, CFS, customs area, freight forwarder location, CHA-nominated premises, or any other export-linked location.

Q21. What should be entered as Ship-to GSTIN in export Bill-to/Ship-to cases?

In export sub-supply type involving Bill-to/Ship-to transactions, Ship-to GSTIN is proposed to be entered as “URP”, where the Ship-to location is export-linked and no domestic registered Ship-to GSTIN is applicable.

Q22. Does entering URP mean that the transaction is treated as a domestic supply to an unregistered person?

No. Entry of URP is a system-level treatment for EWB generation in export-related movement. The nature of export shall be determined based on export invoice, shipping bill, customs do

 FAQs on Voluntary Closure of e-Way Bill: Business Scenarios, API Impact and Portal Behaviour

(FAQs for stakeholder guidance and system readiness)

Date: 01.07.2026

1. Scope and Implementation

Q1. What is the Voluntary e-Way Bill Closure facility?

The Voluntary e-Way Bill Closure facility enables closure of an e-Way Bill after delivery of goods has been completed. It is intended to record completion of movement in the system.

Q2. Is closure of EWB mandatory?

No. Closure of EWB is voluntary in nature.

Q3. What is the revised implementation date?

The revised date of implementation is 1st August, 2026.

Q4. When can an EWB be closed?

An E-Way Bill may be closed after completion of delivery of goods. It is advised that such closure should be ca

= = = = = = = =

Plain text (Extract) only
For full text:-Visit the Source

= = = = = = = =

ier, recipient and transporter?

For suppliers, recipients and transporters, the closure option is available after login under the e-Way Bill section of the portal.

Q7. What are the portal modes for closure?

Closure can be performed EWB-wise or date-wise for logged-in users.

Q8. What is EWB-wise closure?

EWB-wise closure means that a specific e-Way Bill number is selected and closed after delivery is completed.

Q9. What is date-wise closure?

Date-wise closure allows the logged-in user to view EWBs for a particular date and close eligible EWBs after delivery.

Q10. Can multiple EWBs be closed through date-wise closure on the portal?

Yes, the option is available.

Q11. Can a driver or authorised person close an EWB?

Yes. A driver or authorised person can close an EWB through the portal-based mobile number closure facility, where the mobile number has been provided for closure purposes.

Q12. How does mobile number-based closure work?

All active EWBs lin

= = = = = = = =

Plain text (Extract) only
For full text:-Visit the Source

= = = = = = = =

ulk closure?

No, the current API does not support date-wise bulk closure.

Q18. Is there any API to retrieve EWBs marked as closed, including date-wise retrieval?

No. Currently, no separate API has been introduced to retrieve EWBs that have been marked as closed, including date-wise retrieval of closed EWBs. Such functionality may be considered in future after the closure module is stabilised and based on operational requirements emerging from field usage.

Q19. Will Get EWB Details API show a separate Closed status or closed date?

At present, no separate provision has been introduced in the Get EWB Details API to return a Closed status or Closed Date. For the initial stabilisation period, the existing status framework is being continued. A separate status of “Closed” is proposed to be introduced in due course.

Q20. Can APIs capture the mobile number for closure by driver or authorised person?

No. At present, there is no provision in the APIs to capture or specify th

= = = = = = = =

Plain text (Extract) only
For full text:-Visit the Source

= = = = = = = =

s existing status framework is being continued so that trade and system users are not adversely impacted during the transition phase.

Q26. If an EWB is marked as closed, will it immediately show as “Closed”?

During the initial stabilisation period, a separate “Closed” status may not be reflected in the existing status framework. However, closure details will be captured in the system.

Q27. Can user actions be performed after an EWB is marked as closed?

Yes. As of now, user actions such as Update Transporter, Extend Validity, Vehicle Updation and other permitted modifications will continue to remain available even after the EWB has been marked as closed.

Q28. Why are post-closure actions allowed initially?

This relaxation is being provided for the benefit of users during the initial stabilisation period.

Q29. Will post-closure actions be restricted later?

Yes. Once the system is stabilised, necessary restrictions will be introduced and post-closure actions will b

very of goods has been completed.

Q34. Is closure the same as expiry of EWB?

No. Expiry is based on the validity period of the EWB, whereas closure is a user action to record completion of delivery.

5. Impact in e-Invoice API and e-Way Bill by IRN

Q35. Is there any impact of voluntary closure on e-Invoice API?

The e-Invoice API facilitates only the generation of the e-Way Bill. After generation, all further operations relating to the e-Way Bill are handled exclusively through the EWB APIs. Accordingly, no impact is envisaged on the e-Invoice API.

Q36. Is there any impact of voluntary closure on Generate IRN and EWB together flow?

There is no impact.

Q37. Is there any impact of voluntary closure on e-Way Bill by IRN API?

There is no impact.

Q38. Can an EWB generated along with IRN be closed?

Yes, it can be closed.

Q39. Can an EWB generated using IRN be closed?

Yes, it can be closed.

6. Business Scenarios

Scenario 1: Supplier closes EWB after

= = = = = = = =

Plain text (Extract) only
For full text:-Visit the Source

= = = = = = = =

updation. The driver or authorised person may then close the EWB through the portal-based mobile number closure facility.

Scenario 6: Closure through API by ERP-integrated taxpayer

An ERP-integrated taxpayer closes EWBs through API after delivery by transmitting the EWB number, closure date and remarks.

Scenario 7: Date-wise closure by transporter

A transporter handles multiple EWBs generated on a single date. After delivery of goods, the transporter uses date-wise closure on the portal to identify and close eligible EWBs.

Scenario 8: EWB marked as closed but vehicle update attempted

During the initial stabilisation period, vehicle updation and other permitted actions will continue to remain available even after closure. After stabilisation, such post-closure actions may be suitably restricted.

Scenario 9: API user wants date-wise list of closed EWBs

At present, no separate API has been introduced for date-wise retrieval of closed EWBs. Such functionality may b

Single notice cannot club multiple financial years under GST limitation rules; writ relief remains available for jurisdictional error
Case-Laws
GST
Section 74 does not permit a single show-cause notice to club multiple financial years, because limitation is linked to each relevant financial year and a consolidated notice would unlawfully extend the five-year period for earlier years. The impugned notice and consequential order were therefore treated as de hors the statute and without jurisdiction. The alternative-remedy rule was also held to be only a self-imposed restraint: where the defect is ex facie jurisdictional and apparent on the record, writ relief remains maintainable despite an available statutory appeal.

Restoration of cancelled GST registration where return defaults were non-fraudulent and dues were paid on time
Case-Laws
GST
Cancelled GST registration may be restored where the default in filing returns is not shown to be fraudulent, intentional or deliberate, and the taxpayer is willing to clear the outstanding dues. The note records that restoration was treated as justified in such circumstances, subject to determination and payment of the statutory tax dues together with applicable interest and late fee or penalty within the time fixed by the Court. If payment is not made within that period, the request for restoration fails.

GST personal hearing under Section 75(4) is mandatory when requested or before adverse orders, and denial vitiates adjudication
Case-Laws
GST
Section 75(4) of the GST law requires a personal hearing where a written request is made or an adverse decision is contemplated. Denial of that hearing, despite an admitted request and a proposed adverse order, vitiates the adjudication as contrary to both the statute and natural justice. The impugned GST order was set aside and the matter remitted for fresh consideration after granting hearing before an officer other than the one who issued the show-cause notice.

Extended limitation under GST upheld for suppression, with ex parte assessments remitted for fresh hearing on conditions
Case-Laws
GST
Extended limitation under Section 74 was treated as justified where the petitioner failed to fully respond to the written requisition, the DRC-01A intimation and the DRC-01 notices, which was treated as suppression of facts. The text further notes that, when the department proceeds on the petitioner's own records and detects non-payment, short payment, erroneous refund or wrongful ITC, Section 74 can be sustained. For two assessment years, the proceedings were said to be within limitation in any event, and even a mistaken Section 74 invocation could be recast under Section 73 through Section 75(2) if a proper reply is filed. Ex parte orders were remitted de novo on conditional compliance.

Once the petitioner uploaded the return, the order sustaining non-filing could not be left unchanged. The authority was required to take the filed return into account and proceed by reassessment or fresh consideration in accordance with law. The impugned order was set aside and the matter remanded for consideration of the return and passing of fresh orders.
