GST Summons Under Section 70 Doesn't Create Tax Liability or Initiate Proceedings Against Taxpayer
Case-Laws
GST
The HC addressed a challenge to a summons issued under s.70 of the GST Act seeking information from the petitioner. The court clarified that s.74 of the CGST Act applies to tax evasion cases involving willful misstatement or fraud, permitting penalties up to 100% of unpaid tax, with reduced penalties available at various stages of admission and payment. The court determined that the 2nd respondent's communication aligned with s.74 provisions and did not create liability or initiate proceedings against the petitioner. The petition was closed, preserving the petitioner's right to oppose any future proceedings for tax short payment, evasion, or wrongful ITC availment.

GST Ex-Parte Order Set Aside: Taxpayers Must Receive Proper Notice Under Section 73 Before Assessment

GST Ex-Parte Order Set Aside: Taxpayers Must Receive Proper Notice Under Section 73 Before Assessment
Case-Laws
GST
The HC set aside an ex-parte order issued without proper service of show cause notice, finding it violated principles of natural justice. Following precedents established in Ola Fleet Technologies and Akriti Food Industry cases, the Court determined that taxpayers facing liability must receive opportunity to present their defense. Rather than prolonging litigation, the HC directed that the impugned order dated 30.12.2023 should be treated as notice under Section 73 of the GST Act, 2017, allowing the petitioner to file objections and submit relevant documentation to the assessing officer for fresh consideration. The petition was accordingly disposed of with directions for the assessing authority to pass a fresh order after considering the petitioner's submissions.

Input Tax Credit Cannot Be Denied for GSTR-3B Returns Filed Late When Section 16(5) Amendment Provides New Cut-off Date

Input Tax Credit Cannot Be Denied for GSTR-3B Returns Filed Late When Section 16(5) Amendment Provides New Cut-off Date
Case-Laws
GST
The HC quashed an order disallowing Input Tax Credit (ITC) claimed by the petitioner in GSTR-3B returns filed beyond the due date under WBSGST/CGST Act, 2017. The Court held that the subsequent amendment to Section 16(5) had regularized the petitioner's returns for tax period April 2018 to March 2019 by providing a new cut-off date, and therefore the petitioner could not be denied the benefit of this amendment. The petitioner was permitted to apply before the appropriate authority by making a rectification application. The petition was accordingly disposed of.

GST Registration Cancellation Overturned as Authorities Failed to Establish Rule 21 Violations or Improper Registration

GST Registration Cancellation Overturned as Authorities Failed to Establish Rule 21 Violations or Improper Registration
Case-Laws
GST
The HC set aside the cancellation of petitioner's GST registration, finding that authorities failed to follow proper procedural requirements. The appellate authority had rejected the appeal solely because the HSN/SAC code disclosure in registration applications suggested two registrations covered the same business. However, the court determined that authorities did not establish any violations under Rule 21 of the GST Act, which prescribes specific conditions for registration cancellation. The revenue department also failed to demonstrate that petitioner obtained registration by breaching conditions under Section 29(2) read with Rule 21. The court directed immediate restoration of the petitioner's GST registration upon presentation of the order.

Aluminium Composite Panels Classified Under HSN 7606 with 18% GST Rate, Not Under HSN 3920 or 7610

Aluminium Composite Panels Classified Under HSN 7606 with 18% GST Rate, Not Under HSN 3920 or 7610
Case-Laws
GST
The AAAR determined that Aluminium Composite Panels/Sheets are properly classified under HSN 7606, not under HSN 3920 or HSN 7610. Applying Rule 3(b) of the General Rules for Interpretation of Tariff, the Central Member concluded that the goods fall under Chapter 76 since aluminum gives the essential character to the ACPs. The contending Heading 7610 was ruled out as the subject goods are not aluminum structures or parts of structures. Following CESTAT precedent in Commissioner of Customs (Imports) Chennai Vs ICP India Pvt. Ltd., the panels were determined to be classifiable under Heading 7606 with an applicable GST rate of 18%.

Input Tax Credit Cannot Be Denied When Seller's GST Registration Was Valid During Transaction Despite Later Cancellation
Case-Laws
GST
The HC held that the petitioner was entitled to Input Tax Credit (ITC) despite the seller's GST registration being canceled retrospectively. Since the transaction occurred on 06.12.2018 when the seller was validly registered, and the cancellation took effect from 29.01.2020, no adverse inference could be drawn against the petitioner. The Court emphasized that under Sections 16 and 74 of the GST Act and Rule 36 of GST Rules, ITC eligibility depends on conditions fulfilled at the time of transaction. The authorities failed to verify GSTR-1A, GSTR-3B, and tax deposits by the seller. The petition was allowed, and the matter remanded for fresh consideration with a reasoned order after hearing all stakeholders.

Refund of Unutilized ITC Cannot Be Denied Merely Because Payments Were Remitted to Different Branch's Bank Account
Case-Laws
GST
The HC quashed an order denying refund of unutilized Input Tax Credit for FY 2022-23 and Q1 of FY 2023-24. The respondent had rejected the refund claim because payments for exported services by petitioner's Delhi branch office were remitted to a bank account in Bangalore. Relying on Cable and Wireless Global India Private Limited, the Court held that mapping a Bangalore bank account after receiving remittances validates that services were exported by the Delhi branch office. The Court found the respondent's objection overly technical and unsustainable, ruling that remittance to a Bangalore bank account does not preclude refund eligibility. The petitioner's claim was remanded for reconsideration.

Writ Application Dismissed Due to Defective Affidavit Where Deponent Failed to Establish Proper Authorization

Writ Application Dismissed Due to Defective Affidavit Where Deponent Failed to Establish Proper Authorization
Case-Laws
GST
The HC dismissed a writ application challenging seizure of goods and vehicle due to fatal procedural defects in the supporting affidavit. The deponent, Gopal Yadav, failed to establish proper authorization to represent all petitioners, claiming only to be the manager-cum-authorized representative of petitioner no.3. The affidavit lacked mandatory declarations that the deponent had reviewed the statements in the application or had them explained to him. These deficiencies rendered the affidavit legally insufficient under Patna HC rules. Finding the writ application incompetent due to improper representation, the court dismissed it as withdrawn.

Refund of Unutilized Input Tax Credit on SEZ Supplies Cannot Be Denied for Procedural Non-Compliance
Case-Laws
GST
The HC quashed orders rejecting the petitioner's claim for refund of unutilized Input Tax Credit on supplies made to SEZ units without payment of tax. The Court held that once the respondents admitted the petitioner's entitlement to refund, the Court had jurisdiction to direct its grant despite procedural non-compliance with Circular No. 125/44/2019. The Court emphasized that while procedural requirements are important, they cannot extinguish substantive rights of the assessee under tax laws. Allowing the Department to retain excess tax would constitute unjust enrichment contrary to Article 265 of the Constitution. The Court ruled that procedure must remain subservient to substantive justice, particularly in genuine refund cases where the assessee's rights are established.

Blocking of Electronic Credit Ledger under Rule 86A quashed due to lack of reasoning and natural justice violation
Case-Laws
GST
The HC quashed the order blocking petitioner's Electronic Credit Ledger under Rule 86A of CGST/SGST Rules. The court found that the impugned order lacked independent reasoning, instead relying on enforcement authority reports which constituted “borrowed satisfaction.” Additionally, no pre-decisional hearing was granted to the petitioner before blocking the ECL, violating principles of natural justice. The order merely stated the registered person was “found to be a bill trader and involved in issuance/availment in fake invoices” without providing substantive reasoning. The court determined these procedural and substantive defects rendered the blocking order legally untenable and allowed the petition.

ITC Denied on Employee Transportation Services Under Section 17(5) as No Statutory Obligation Exists

ITC Denied on Employee Transportation Services Under Section 17(5) as No Statutory Obligation Exists
Case-Laws
GST
The AAAR dismissed the appeal regarding eligibility to claim ITC on GST paid for employee transportation services. The authority ruled that under Section 17(5) of CGST Act, ITC is available only when provision of such services is statutorily obligatory for employers. Since the appellant provided transportation merely as a convenience measure for employees at a remote factory location without any statutory obligation, ITC was disallowed. Additionally, per CBIC Circular No. 172/04/2022-GST, transportation services provided as contractual perquisites fall under Schedule III and are non-taxable. Consequently, ITC on inward services used for providing such non-taxable services cannot be availed.

The AAAR upheld the AAR's ruling that services provided by the appellant to the Telangana State Government are not exempt under GST. Entry 6 of Notification 12/2017 exempts services provided by the Government, not to the Government. Additionally, services provided by the appellant on behalf of the Government to business entities fall under the exception to this entry and are therefore taxable. The appeal was filed within the prescribed time limit (filed on 1.11.2021, within 30 days of AAR communication on 4.10.2021). The appellant's representatives confirmed during the hearing that GST has been paid on these services since inception, indicating no practical dispute exists.

Electricity and Water Charges by Lessor to Lessee Form Part of Renting Services Under Section 8(a), Attracting GST

Electricity and Water Charges by Lessor to Lessee Form Part of Renting Services Under Section 8(a), Attracting GST
Case-Laws
GST
The AAAR determined that electricity and water charges collected by a lessor from a lessee constitute part of the principal supply of “renting of immovable property” under Section 8(a) of the CGST Act, not a separate supply. The lessor cannot be considered a pure agent as there is no sub-meter in the lessee's name and no authorization for payment. The exemption for electricity transmission/distribution services under Notification No. 12/2017-CT(R) does not apply as the lessor is neither a Distribution nor Transmission Licensee under the Electricity Act, 2003. Consequently, GST is applicable on the entire consideration including electricity and water charges at the rate applicable to renting services.

GST Registration Cancellation Reversed: Taxpayer Given 45 Days to File Returns and Pay Outstanding Amounts

GST Registration Cancellation Reversed: Taxpayer Given 45 Days to File Returns and Pay Outstanding Amounts
Case-Laws
GST
The HC disposed of the petition regarding cancellation of the petitioner's GST registration due to non-filing of statutory returns for six continuous months. Following precedent established in Tvl.Suguna Cutpiece Center's case, the court permitted the petitioner to restore their registration by filing outstanding returns within 45 days, along with payment of defaulted tax, applicable interest, late fees, and fines. The petitioner had expressed willingness to fulfill these obligations as required under the GST Act. The court consistently applies this remedy in similar cases, allowing taxpayers an opportunity to rectify compliance failures rather than maintaining registration cancellations.

Refund Claims Cannot Be Stalled Through Invalid Show Cause Notices Lacking Specific Fraud Allegations Under Section 74

Refund Claims Cannot Be Stalled Through Invalid Show Cause Notices Lacking Specific Fraud Allegations Under Section 74
Case-Laws
GST
The HC held that the Show Cause Notice (SCN) was invalidly issued as it merely alleged wrongful refund claims without substantiating fraud or misrepresentation. Following precedents in Parity Infotech and HCL Infotech Ltd., the Court determined that invoking the extended limitation period under Section 74 requires specific allegations of fraud, misstatement, or suppression of facts, not merely mechanical reproduction of statutory language. The Court found the SCN was issued as a circuitous means to avoid consequences from previous litigation between the parties, and that refund claims cannot be legitimately stalled through such tactics. The petition was accordingly disposed of in the petitioner's favor.

Assignment of MIDC Land Leasehold Rights to Third Party for Lump Sum Payment Not Subject to GST

Assignment of MIDC Land Leasehold Rights to Third Party for Lump Sum Payment Not Subject to GST
Case-Laws
GST
The HC ruled that assignment of leasehold rights in MIDC land along with buildings to a third party for lump sum consideration is not subject to GST. Following Gujarat HC's precedent in Gujarat Chambers of Commerce case, the court determined that such transactions constitute transfer of benefits arising from “immovable property,” with the assignee becoming the new lessee in place of the original allottee. The court held that Section 7(1)(a) of the GST Act read with clause 5(b) of Schedule II and clause 5 of Schedule III does not apply to such transactions, exempting them from GST under Section 9. The HC stayed adjudication of the Show Cause Notice dated November 13, 2024.

The HC dismissed a petition as withdrawn upon petitioner's request, with liberty as prayed for. The petition had sought release of a sanctioned loan and alleged illegal seizure without providing an opportunity to be heard, claiming violation of principles of natural justice. Respondent No.2 contended the petition constituted misuse of legal process and argued that the prayer for directions to the GST-Department lacked merit. Though the respondent advocated for dismissal on substantive grounds, they did not object when petitioner's counsel made an uncontested request to withdraw rather than pursue the matter on its merits.

Late Fee Waiver Under Amnesty Scheme Must Apply to All GSTR-1 and GSTR-9 Filers Regardless of Filing Date

Late Fee Waiver Under Amnesty Scheme Must Apply to All GSTR-1 and GSTR-9 Filers Regardless of Filing Date
Case-Laws
GST
The HC ruled that the petitioner is entitled to the benefit of the Amnesty Scheme for waiver of late fees for filing GSTR-1 and GSTR-9 returns beyond Rs. 10,000/-. The Court found it improper to create differential treatment between taxpayers who filed returns before the amnesty notifications (No. 7/2023 and 25/2023) were issued and those who filed within the period prescribed by the notifications. Following precedents from HP HC in RT Pharma and Kerala HC in Anishia Chandrakanth, the Court held that the spirit of the notifications was to encourage return filing, and taxpayers should not be prejudiced merely because they filed returns prior to the notification date. Petition disposed of accordingly.

The HC quashed the impugned Order-in-Original covering tax periods from 2017-18 through July 2023, remanding the matter to the third respondent for fresh consideration. This decision was predicated on the petitioner's expressed intention to avail benefits under the Amnesty Scheme provided in Section 128(A) of the CGST Act, which specifically applies to financial years 2017-18, 2018-19, and 2019-20. The court determined that remittal was the appropriate remedy to allow proper consideration of the Amnesty Scheme's applicability to the relevant portion of the assessment periods, directing the third respondent to reconsider the matter in accordance with law.
