The HC allowed the appeal and writ petition, holding that penalty under s.129 could not be imposed. The court found the appellant had produced requisite documentation (Form GST-MOV-01), an invoice from the job-worker, an e-way bill for stock transfer, and a stock transfer voucher corroborated by the transporter's document, demonstrating absence of mens rea to evade tax. The HC set aside the orders of the adjudicating and appellate authorities, deleted the penalty, and directed release/cancellation of the bank guarantee furnished in favour of the department. Given the factual matrix and documentary proof of lawful stock transfer from the job-worker to the appellant, no penal liability survived.

The HC exercised its discretionary jurisdiction to condone delay in filing the appeal, finding the petitioner's reasons for delay bona fide, and thus set aside both the impugned assessment order issued by the first respondent and the rejection of the appeal by the second respondent. The Court granted the petitioner one opportunity to prosecute the appeal before the Appellate Authority subject to conditions: the petitioner must remit an additional 5% of the disputed tax in supplement to the 10% pre-deposit already paid at the time of filing, and such further deposit must be made within two weeks of receipt of this order. The writ petition is disposed of accordingly.

The court found no merit in the challenge, noting the petitioner did not file the return within three years; issuance of a notice under Rule 68/GSTR-3A did not obviate liability. The petitioner remains liable to pay late fee calculated at Rs.100 per day subject to the statutory ceiling of one quarter percent of turnover, and the petition is dismissed.

Raipur, Sep 12 (PTI) Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai on Friday said the Goods and Services Tax (GST) reforms under Prime Minister Narendra Modi's leadership have ushered in a new revolutionary economic era and eased the lives of 150 crore Indians.
Addressing a press conference at Kushabhau Thakre Parisar, the BJP state office here, Sai said GST has now truly become 'Good and Simple Tax'.
“Prior to the introduction of GST on July 1, 2017, India had 17 types of taxes and 13 types of cess. At one time, income tax rates had gone up to 97.5 percent. Now, income up to Rs 12 lakh annually has been made tax-fre

Similarly, lower GST on agricultural machinery, fertilizers, bio-pesticides, irrigation equipment, drip and sprinkler systems will reduce costs and increase profitability for cultivators, Sai said.
He said removing GST on health and life insurance is a landmark step in strengthening social security.
“Reduction of GST on tendu leaf and minor forest produce processing equipment will also benefit leaf collectors in tribal-dominated Bastar and Surguja regions,” he said while calling the reforms a new dawn for the poor and middle class.

New Delhi, Sep 12 (PTI) The Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Friday said its preliminary probe into a multi-crore pan-India alleged fake input tax credit (ITC) fraud has found that “big MNCs” were benefiting from these illegal transactions.

It claimed “significant” frauds came to light during the searches.
In Arunachal Pradesh, it said, the proprietors of Rainbow Enterprises and A K Enterprises “admitted” to availing fake ITC of over Rs 2 crore each without any actual supply or movement of goods.

Gadkari also urged the automobile industry to consider offering a minimum discount of 5 per cent to customers who submit a scrappage certificate while buying a new vehicle. “It is not charity, because it is going to increase the demand,” he said.
According to Gadkari, while the auto industry has benefited a lot from the GST rationalisation, the successful implementation of Vehicle Scrapping Policy is going to reduce the cost of automobile component by 25 per cent.
“Prime Minister Narendra Modi has taken decision reduce the GST rates, and that is a good incentive for all of you. This is going to increase your market potential, boost demand and increase size of the industry.

The HC allowed the accused's bail application and directed release on bail of Rs.100,000 with two like sureties, subject to CJM's satisfaction and standard conditions. The court held the arrest unlawful because statutory preconditions were not satisfied: no notice under Section 35(3) BNSS, 2023 was issued and the arresting authority failed to record in writing the specific grounds of satisfaction required by Section 35(1)(b)(ii). Mere recital that the accused might tamper with evidence or influence witnesses, without material or stated reasons, violated the procedural mandate and the Arnesh Kumar principles. In consequence, the illegality of arrest warranted bail despite the offence attracting imprisonment up to five years.

The Tribunal held that the statutory provision imposing interest at 18% on profiteered amounts is not applicable retrospectively; it operates only from the date the amending rule came into force (post-28.06.2019), and therefore, because the profiteering occurred prior thereto, the respondent was not directed to pay interest. The application was disposed of accordingly.

Services held to be exports, not intermediaries under Section 2(13) IGST Act; place of supply outside taxable territory
Case-Laws
GST
The HC allowed the petition, holding that the impugned services qualify as exports rather than intermediary supplies for GST purposes. The court concluded the petitioner performed services directly for a single overseas contracting party under a specific contractual arrangement, and absent a tripartite relationship the statutory definition of “intermediary” is not satisfied. Applying the reasoning of co-ordinate appellate and higher judicial authorities, the HC held that the place of provision lies outside the taxable territory and the supply constitutes export of services. Consequently, the respondents' contrary classification was set aside and the petitioner's treatment as an exporter was upheld.

Fly ash bricks are not exempt merely by virtue of recycled/sustainable content and no special concessional treatment applies for supplies to Government/PSUs. A manufacturer may avail ITC on inputs and input services if otherwise eligible when charging 12%; the Composition Scheme is unavailable to manufacturers of fly ash bricks.

The court found no evidence of mens rea to evade tax, accepted the appellants' undisputed plea of traffic-induced delay and applied the statutory 8-hour extension available to transporter/owner/supplier, leaving only a residual delay which revenue failed to characterise as mala fide. In consequence the HC directed the appropriate departmental authority to refund the penalty already recovered upon receipt of an application by the appellants within eight weeks.

The AAR determines that amendments to Sections 2(61) and 20 of the CGST Act mandate transmission of common input service invoices and distribution of the corresponding ITC only through the ISD mechanism; prior practice up to March 2025 is recognised but future receipt and distribution must comply with ISD registration and prescribed ISD procedures.

AAR held that consultation services and medicines dispensed to out-patients constitute distinct taxable supplies rather than a composite supply; medicines and consumables prescribed to out-patients are independent of the exempt health-care service and therefore subject to GST, whereas supplies integral to treatment of in-patients (including pharmacy-issued medicines and prescribed food) form part of the exempt composite health-care supply. Consequently, supplies to out-patients must be treated and invoiced as separate taxable supplies from the professional medical service, and are not subsumed under the exemption applicable to in-patient care.

Cranes and HVAC were characterised as plant and machinery, supporting the secondary steel's eligibility. Concerning advances, the AAR ruled that time-of-supply principles in s.13(2) render receipt of advance as deemed receipt, and therefore ITC on supplier invoices for advance payments may be availed subject to the temporal limitation in s.16(4) – i.e., before 30 November following the FY or on filing the annual return, whichever is earlier.

Addressing a function in the state capital, Goyal showered praises on Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, PrasadÂ’s arch-rival and president of BJP ally JD(U), claiming that the backwardness came to an end after he assumed charge.

“Today, Bihar's fox nuts are going to New Zealand, the USA, and Canada. I believe that in the coming days, it will go to more than 100 countries”, he said.
Later, he also inaugurated PatnaÂ’s office of the Agricultural and Processed Food Products Export Development Authority (APEDA).
“The agriculture sector in the country has received a new direction. With the establishment of the APEDA office in the state, local produce such as mangoes, Shahi litchi, makhana, rice, bananas, and pulses will now be able to gain global recognition. Agriculture-rich Bihar will now become the backbone of a self-reliant and developed India”, he said.

Goyal said the Union cabinet on Wednesday approved two major infrastructure projects: a Rs 3,169-crore railway line and a Rs 4,447-crore highway for Bihar.
The doubling of the 177-km Bhagalpur-Dumka-Rampurhat railway line and the construction of the 82-km four-lane Mokama-Munger section of the Buxar-Bhagalpur high-speed corridor will ease transport woes in the state, he added.
