There appears to be misgiving about the last date for taking Input Tax Credit (ITC) in relation to invoices or debit notes relating to such invoices pertaining to period from July, 2017 to March, 2018. Such uncertainty seems to stem from the Government's decision to extend the last date for furnishing of details of outward supplies in FORM GSTR-1 from time to time.
According to Section 16 (4) of the CGST Act, 2017, a registered person shall not be entitled to take ITC in respect of any inv

outward details in FORM GSTR-1 by the corresponding supplier(s) and the facility to view the same in FORM GSTR-2A by the recipient is in the nature of taxpayer facilitation and does not impact the ability of the taxpayer to avail ITC on self-assessment basis in consonance with the provisions of Section 16 of the Act. The apprehension that ITC can be availed only on the basis of reconciliation between FORM GSTR-2A and FORM GSTR-3B conducted before the due date for filing of return in FORM GSTR-3B for the month of September, 2018 is unfounded as the same exercise can be done thereafter also.
It may, however, be noted that the Government has extended the last date for furnishing of return in FORM GSTR-3B for the month of September, 2018 for c

My client has raised supply invoices in the previous FY 17-18 – but his part-time accountant omitted to enter the values/particulars in GSTR 3B / 1 – But they have paid the tax due in relation thereto in May 18 in the next FY 18-19. Now one of the buyers is refusing to pay the GST amount since the purchase (my client's sale) is not reflected in his GSTR 2A.
Now please advise as to how my client can rectify his returns for the FY 17-18 now for including the omitted turnover. Is my understanding that there is no provision in GST for revision of returns?

Mrs. Archana Wadhwa, Member (Judicial)
For the Appellant : Shri Keval Shah, C.A.
For the Respondent : Shri Sudhir B. Mane, Assistant Commissioner (AR)
ORDER
After hearing both the sides duly represented by Shri Keval Shah, Chartered Accountant, for the appellant and Shri Sudhir B. Mane, Assistant Commissioner (AR), I find that the appellant is a unit located in SEZ area and was availing the benefit of Notification No. 17/2011-ST dated 1.3.2011 as also a subsequent identical Notification No.40/2012-ST dated 20.6.2012. In terms of the said notification, the input services, utilized by the SEZ developer, for the authorized operations, are exempt from payment of service tax. The modus operandi for implementation of the said notification stands explained in the no

pect of various services so received.
3. Subsequently, they filed a refund claim for Rs. 8.60 lakhs approximately for claim of the said service tax so paid by them. However, inasmuch as the assessee had reflected the said service tax in their ST-3 returns, Revenue entertained a view that they have availed the cenvat credit of service tax so paid by them and as such, the condition of the notification stands violated by them. Accordingly, proceedings were initiated for denial of the refund claim, resulting in passing of the present impugned orders by the authorities below.
4. The appellant during the course of adjudication took a categorical stand that no cenvat credit stands taken by them or stands utilized by them. They have merely maintained a record of the service tax so paid by them in respect of various input services and the total amount of such service tax was reflected by them in their ST-3 returns so as to let the department know that the total service tax availed by them is

mount to the fact that as if the assessee has taken and utilized the credit. Not only that the appellant in their subsequent ST-3 returns has again shown the opening balance of such account maintained by them as zero and has reflected the total service tax earned by them in that period. The appreciation of all the above facts leads to only one inevitable conclusion that no cenvat credit was availed by the assessee and as such, there was no violation of the condition of the notification.
6. Even the lower authorities in their impugned orders have nowhere disputed the fact that such amount of service tax reflected by them in their ST-3 returns was utilized by them. The condition of the notification, which grants refund of service tax paid on various services utilized for authorized operations on SEZ, is that no cenvat credit would be availed by the assessee. Such availment cannot be held to be there unless such service tax accumulated in the accounts of the assessee stands utilized by t

It is not the case of Revenue that the vendor has not paid the Service Tax which was collected by him from the Appellant, who have utilised their services. CENVAT credit is being denied to the Appellant only on the ground that the invoices were not having the registration number of the service provider. There is no allegation or finding to the effect that the input services were not received by the Appellant or that the said services were not covered under the scope of eligible input services in terms of CENVAT Credit Rules, 2004.

Provided that where the services are supplied to a government entity, they should have been procured by the said entity in relation to a work entrusted to it by the CG, SG or the Union Territory or local authority, as the case may be.
1.6 That, by arguing that the work contract carried out by the applicant company is covered under entry 3(vi)(c) of the notification (supra), MPPGCL released the GST payment only to the extent of 12 (6+6)% as against 18 (9+9)% as claimed by the applicant company in their bills.
1.7 In order to claim itself as a 'government entity', MPPGCL submitted its nature of constitution as under:

ification (Extraordinary) No. 226 notified order no. 3679/ FRS/ 18/13/2002 Dtd. 31-05-2005 to give effect to the reorganization of the Madhya Pradesh State Electricity Board. The Para2(a) of the said order is reproduced below :
k. “With effect from 01.06.2005 (the effective date) the function of Generation of electricity as specified in schedule A to the Transfer Scheme Rules, 2003, shall be conducted and shall be carried on by Madhya Pradesh Power Generating Company Limited as its own business and not as an agent of or on behalf of the Madhya Pradesh State Electricity Board”

cribes that, the concessional rate of 12 (6+6)% is applicable on fulfillment of the following:
“where the services are supplied to a government entity, they should have been procured by the said entity in relation to a work entrusted to it by the CG, SG or the Union Territory or local authority, as the case may be.”
MPPGCL stated that construction of 599 residential quarters for its staff is the work procured by it from the MP state government, whose work contract for construction was then allotted to the applicant company.
1.11. On the ground as stated supra in para 7, 8 & 9, MPPGCL construed that:
That, MPPGCL is a “government entity”,
And the service supplied to it is a service procured by it from the state government. Therefore, it is squarely covered under entry 3(vi)(c) Chapter 99, heading 9954 of the Notification no. 11/2017 dated 28.06.2017 amended from time to time and the applicable rate of GST for such supply made to it is 12% (6+6), and applicant company is not correct

of the CGST Act, 2017,
Provided that where the services are supplied to a government entity, they should have been procured by the said entity in relation to a work entrusted to it by the CG, SG or the Union Territory or local authority, as the case may be.”
1.13 That, in view of the above facts and circumstances, even if we consider MPPGCL to be a “Government Entity”, then also the moot question remains as to whether the construction work of 599 residential quarters as allotted to the applicant company by MPPGCL is the service which has been procured by MPPGCL entity in relation to a work entrusted to it by the MP state government.
1.14 The applicant company is of the view that, construction of 599 residential quarters is not a work which has been entrusted by the MP state government to MPPGCL. MPPGCL has carried out the construction activity to facilitate its staff and it is a part of furtherance of its business of generation of electricity.
1.15 In view of the applicant company,

;Government Entity'?;
2.  If yes, whether the work contract service of construction of 599 residential quarters allotted to the Applicant company under the tender, will be charged under the GST rate of 12% (6+6) [as per entry 3(vi)(c)] or 18% (9+9) [under entry 3(ii)];
3.  Or otherwise if the works contract service is not covered under entry 3(vi)(c), in the facts and circumstances of the Applicant company, then what is the applicable rate of GST?
3. DEAPRTMENT'S VIEW POINT:
The CGST & Central Excise Commisionerate, Jabalpur has furnished its opinion vide letter C.No.GST/Party/lsssues/HQRS-JBP/2017-18 dtd. 05.09.2018 of the Joint Commissioner, CGST & Central Excise, Jabalpur. It has been opined that MPPGCL fulfils the conditions laid down in the definition of 'Government Entity' as defined in terms of Notification No.31/20107-Central Tax (Rate) dtd.13.10.2017, and accordingly it would be a 'Government Entity' for the purpose of CGST Act 2017. Howev

submissions already made in the application. He urged for an early ruling in the matter.
5. DISCUSSIONS AND FINDINGS:
5.1 We have carefully considered the submissions made by the applicant in the application, the pleadings on behalf of the Applicant made during the course of personal hearing. At the outset, we find that the issue raised in the Application is squarely covered under Section 97(2)(b) of the CGST Act 2017 and MPGST Act 2017 being a matter related to applicability of exemption notification, and the applicant have complied with the all the requirements for filing this application as laid down under the law. We therefore admit the application for consideration on merits.
5.2. The moot questions to be answered in present application are as under:
i.  Whether M/s. Madhya Pradesh Power Generation Company Limited (MPPGCL) is a Government Entity for the purpose of GST law?
ii.  Whether the works contract service of construction of residential quarters provided by t

= = = = = = = =

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

t of Madhya Pradesh has a 100% shareholding in the company. The State Government is also exercising full control over the activities of the said company. Needless to say that in the given circumstances M/s MPPGCL qualifies to be called and termed as a 'Government Entity' for the purpose of GST law, as it fulfils the necessary and sufficient conditions laid down under notification supra.
5.5. Now, the said Government Entity i.e. MPPGCL has been entrusted with the work of power generation in the State of Madhya Pradesh. Though we do not have details of work entrusted by the State Government to MPPGCL, on the basis of facts brought on record through the present application, we safely conclude that the essential and sole work entrusted to MPPGCL by the Government of Madhya Pradesh is of electricity (power) generation. M/s.MPPGCL has awarded a works contract for construction of 599 residential quarters at Shri Singaji Thermal Power Project Stage-ll, Near Village Dongalia Distt Khan

= = = = = = = =

is matter by the Joint Commissioner, CGST & Central Excise, Jabalpur, as discussed in foregoing paras, and we express our agreement with the same. The activity in question definitely does not have any relation to the principal work of power generation entrusted by the state government to MPPGCL, and therefore the works contract service of construction of residential quarters would attract GST @18% (9% CGST + 9% SGST) in terms of Notification No.11/2017-CT Rate dtd.28.06.2017 and corresponding notification under MPGST Act 2017.
5.7. Thus in view of the discussions foregoing, we conclude that the impugned activity of the applicant would attract GST @18% (9% CGST + 9% SGST) classifiable under SAC 9954 read with Notification No.11/2017-Central Tax (Rate) and corresponding notification under MPGST Act 2017.

My client has raised supply invoices in the previous FY 17-18 – but his part-time accountant omitted to enter the values/particulars in GSTR 3B / 1 – But they have paid the tax due in relation thereto in May 18 in the next FY 18-19. Now one of the buyers is refusing to pay the GST amount since the purchase (my client's sale) is not reflected in his GSTR 2A.
Now please advise as to how my client can rectify his returns for the FY 17-18 now for including the omitted turnover. Is my understanding that there is no provision in GST for revision of returns?

MR AKIL KURESHI AND MR B.N. KARIA, JJ.
For The Petitioner (s) : Mr Dhaval Shah (2354)
ORAL ORDER
(PER : HONOURABLE MR.JUSTICE AKIL KURESHI)
1. The petitioners' main prayer is for a direction to the respondents to allow the petitioners to file revised declaration in Form TRAN1 for the left over CENVAT Credit amounting to Rs. 1,06,08,998/. In this context, the petitioners have also challenged the vires of Rules117 and 120A of the Central Goods and Service Tax Act, 2017 (“CGST Act” for short) insofar as they prescribe time li

ypographical error, the CENVAT Credit admissible in ITC was shown as “Nil”. On account of this wrong declaration, the petitioners would not be able to migrate the left over CENVAT Credit as on 30.06.2018 to the GST regime. Counsel pointed out that the last date by extension for filing Form TRAN1 was 27.12.2017, before which date, the petitioners had attempted to make correction in the said Form.
4. A letter was written to the authorities on 25.11.2017 stating as under;
“Referring to our telecommunication on help desk at the time of filling TRANS 1 in the head of Amount of Tax Credit Carried Forward, We missed to enter the amount in Column Cenvat Credit admissible as ITC and as a result Cenvat Credit is not carried over. Moreover we do no

Credit admissible as ITC. Later we have lodged a complaint to GST Helpline on 16th November 2017. Till date nothing has happened. Our “Service Request Number” is 201712191829221.”
7. Counsel for the petitioners would contend that the TRAN1 declaration was filed within time and attempt was also made before the last date, i.e. 27.12.2017, to correct a pure typographical error. However, the system did not accept such correction. The petitioners would, thus, lose the entire CENVAT Credit balance of Rs. 1,06,08,998/.
8. It would, prima facie, appear that the extended time for making declaration, which was extended upto 27.12.2017, would take within its fold, any typographical or such other corrections, which may be noted in the declaration al

e 6 read as under:-
“Rule 6(1) The Cenvat credit shall not be allowed on such quantity of inputs used in or in relation to the manufacture of exempted goods or for provision of exempted services, or input service used in or in relation to the manufacture of exempted goods and their clearance upto the place of removal or for provisions of exempted service except in the circumstances mentioned in sub-rule(2): Provided that the CENVAT credit on inputs…………..
Explanation 1:- For the purposes of this rule, exempted goods or final products as defined in clauses (d) and (h) of Rule 2 shall included non-excisable goods cleared for a consideration from the factory.”
Reading the aforesaid explanation-I reveals that non-excisable goods cleared for consideration, would fall within the scope of the said Rule. The contention of the Revenue is that since, the “exempted goods”, “final products” defined under the CENVAT Credit Rules, 2004 in clause (d) and clause (h), respectively include n

into existence during the crushing of the sugarcanes and is an unavoidable agricultural waste. For two reasons the Board's Circular dated 25.04.2016 has no application on the facts of the instant case, firstly no Circular can override the Rules as well as the law laid down by the Hon'ble Supreme Court and the orders of this Tribunal, and secondly the said Circular was issued on 25.04.2016 i.e. on a later date, whereas the period in dispute is March, 2015 to June, 2015.
9. Almost all the decisions cited by Learned Counsel for the appellant are on identical issue and in all the decisions, this Tribunal has taken a consistent view that Rule 6 of CENVAT Credit Rules, 2004 has no application in given facts. For instance, in the matter of M/s Shivratna Udyog Ltd. & Others (supra), while allowing the appeal, the following order has been passed by this Tribunal :-
“I have carefully considered the submissions made by both sides. The fact of the case is that the appellants' goods in dispu

nder Rule 6 of Cenvat Credit Rules 2004 is not correct. In view of the above judgments the issue whether Rule 6(3) is applicable in case of removal of non-dutiable waste or by product is settled in favour of the assessee. As regard the submissions made by Ld. ARs that after insertion of explanation in Rule 6(1), even in case of non-excisable goods, the reversal under Rule 6(3) is required. In this regard he referred to the Hon'ble Supreme Court judgment in the case of DSCL Sugar Ltd.(supra). Wherein the Hon'ble Supreme Court has held that in case of non-manufactured/non-excisable goods under Rule 6(3) would not apply and after the amendment in Rule 6(1) by inserting explanation, the ratio of the Hon'ble Supreme Court judgment will not applicable for the period after amendment. On careful consideration of this submission, I find that the issue before the Hon'ble Supreme Court in DSCL Sugar Ltd. was that whether Rule 6(3) is applicable in case of non-excisable goods.

For the Appellant : Mr. V. Sridharan, Sr. Advocate with Mr. Rajesh Ostwal i/b. PROMPT Legal
For the Respondent : Mr. Pradeep S. Jetly with Mr. J.B. Mishra
ORDER
P.C:
This Appeal under Section 35G of the Central Excise Act, 1944 (the Act), challenges the order dated 2nd November, 2017 passed by the Customs, Excise and Service Tax Appellate Tribunal (the Tribunal).
2 The Appellant urges the following question of law for our consideration:
“Whether in the facts and circumstances of the case and in law, the Tribunal was correct in remanding the matter to the adjudicating authority?
3 At the request of the parties, the Appeal itself is being disposed of finally

sed without considering the issue at hand. This to conclude that the order of the Commissioner cannot be sustained.
Therefore, after setting aside the order restored the proceedings to the Commissioner, for fresh disposal.
7 Mr. Sridharan, learned Senior Counsel for the Appellant points out that neither in the Review Order or in the Appeal filed by the Revenue against the order dated 7th June, 2013 of the Commissioner, is any grievance made of it, being incomprehensible. The issues raised in the appeal, challenged the conclusion of the Commissioner that the demand is barred by limitation. It is pointed out that the impugned order does not record the dispute which requires adjudication nor does it record the grievance of the parties. It merely proceeds on its perusal of the order of the Commissioner and comes to the conclusion that the order has been passed without any reasons inasmuch as same does not exhibit the mind of the author.
8 On the other hand, Mr. Jetly, learned Counsel fo

ay if it thinks fit”, is not an arbitrary or subjective satisfaction of the Tribunal but a satisfaction reached through the filter of reasons in the context of the grievance of the parties before it. In the impugned order, we find that the Tribunal has concluded that the order of the Commissioner in appeal is, incapable of understanding without itself referring to the dispute and any part of the finding of the order which are impossible to understand. Therefore, although the Tribunal is undoubtedly entitled to remand a matter for fresh consideration, the same cannot be at its whim and fancy or mere ispi dixit but a conclusion based on reasons.
10 Therefore, the impugned order is not sustainable. Mr. Jetly's submission that no prejudice is caused as the issue has only been remanded, is not correct. The party in whose favour the order is passed is certainly prejudiced if the order in its favour is being set aside without any reasons. Thus, prejudice is caused. Further, there is a ma

case, such records shall, as soon as possible, be returned to the said concerned officer.
The Authority may, after examining the application and the records called for and after hearing the applicant or his authorized representative and the concerned officer or his authorized representative, by order, either admit or reject the application. The Authority shall not admit the application where the question raised in the application is already pending or decided in any proceedings in the case of an applicant under any of the provisions of this Act. No application shall be rejected under this sub-section unless an opportunity of hearing has been given to the applicant. Where the application is rejected, the reasons for such rejection shall be specified in the order.

, the Applicant is an Engineering consultancy organization, providing Engineering Services, mainly Design and Drawings to power and other projects, operating from Chennai and Bengaluru. The question for Advance Ruling is whether CGST & SGST or IGST is payable on the said supply. i.e., whether the transaction is an inter-state supply or intra-state supply? The Authority held that Section 97 of the CGST Act and Tamil Nadu GST Act (TNGST) has given the scope of Advance Ruling Authority, i.e., the question on which the Advance Ruling can be sought. Apart from list provided in Section 97(2), no other issue can be decided by the Advance Ruling Authority and therefore the Acts limit the Advance Ruling Authority to decide the issues earmarked for it under Section 97(2). The Application is therefore rejected without going into the merits of the case, on the issue of lack of jurisdiction.

uthority is a creature of statute and has to function within the legal boundary mandated by the Act. As the 'place of supply' is not covered by Section 97(2) of the Acts, this authority is helpless to answer the question raised in the application, as it is lacking jurisdiction to decide the issues. The jurisdiction of this authority does not extend to the questions on determination of 'place of supply'. The Authority rejected the application.
In re 'Kandla Port Trust (Deenadayal Port Trust)' – 2018 (10) TMI 448 – ARA, Gujarat, the fact of the case is as follows-
* The applicant owns substantial amount of land at Gandhidham and Adipur location of Kutch District, which has been given on lease to various commercial and other organization for long time period, for which it had entered into lease agreements with various lessees long ago.
* The applicant revised rate of lease as per directions of Tariff Authority of Major Port, however, many lease holders have challenged the revised rat

he Acts. Whether the applicant shall continue to pay GST on disputed claims do not require determination of any issue enumerated under Section 97(2) of the Acts. Further, the issue of refund claim in case of conclusion o dispute after more than 2 years is also not covered by Section 97(2) of the Acts. The jurisdiction of the authority does not extend to the questions on determination of these issues.
Pending proceedings
Section 98(2) of the Act provides that the Authority shall not admit the application where the question raised in the application is already pending or decided in any proceedings in the case of an applicant under any of the provisions of this Act

ust' – 2018 (9) TMI 698 – ARA, Tamil Nadu, the applicants are engaged in activities related to providing of education to Mentally Retarded Children. They have preferred an application seeking Advance Ruling on the following question.
“Since they are coming under exempted category, as per GST provisions, are they, liable to pay GST for the materials bought and construction services availed.”
The Advance Ruling sought is whether the Trust is liable to pay GST on receipt of Goods/Services, when the Charitable Trust is exempted under the GST Act 2017. It is made clear that the applicant does not make any of the supplies in question, but are in fact the recipients of the various supplies as stated in their application. Thus, the question is on the liability to pay tax on their purchase and not on the supply.
The Authority held that an applicant can seek an Advance Ruling Authority in relation to supply of goods or services or both undertaken or proposed to be undertaken by the applicant

in terms of Schedule I provisions?
* If GST is not payable separately on the excess length, whether the Company is required to reverse proportionate credit to the extent of supply such excess length?
The jurisdictional officers have raised the objection with regard to admission of this advance ruling application and requested that it is to be rejected as the same issue is pending before the investigation authority on the same questions as raised in the application put forth before ARA Authority. The Authority held that the application filed by the applicant is not maintainable as per the provisions of Section 98 of the CGST Act, as proceedings are already initiated against them before the filing of their present application.
Other grounds

sal Forum of the GST Council which has noted in its minutes of meeting dated 21.08.2018 that the petitioners have a grievance which needs to be addressed.
It is highlighted that the reflection of Tran-I credit in GSTR-3 is essential as it would ultimately impact the availability of credit for the entire duration – both transitional credit and input credit for the period 01.07.2017 onwards. Learned counsel submits that unless appropriate directions are given to the respondents, it is likely to face severe adverse financial crisis because in the absence of credit, it would have to pay cash throughout the country to the tune of Rs. 37 crores.

sed the Writ Petition itself, in which there was a challenge against the Rule. We were of the opinion that the interim application had to be considered first and in the Writ Petition notice had to be issued before the challenge to the Rule was considered. We, hence, directed the appellant to file a review before the learned Single Judge. The same has been filed and is pending before the learned Single Judge.
3. At this point, the learned Counsel appearing for the appellant submits that the appellant would withdraw the challenge against Rule 140 and only insists on consideration of the release of the vehicle.
