Kindly read section in place of rule in my reply.The second proviso to this section lends credence to my views wherein it has been prescribed that if goods are not returned within the specified period , input tax credit shall be recovered. so obviously it has to be input tax credit that must have been taken on the goods so supplied.

pre gst – service tax was exempted if the process amounts to manufacture.
Under the GST – there is no such provision. It is supply of goods or supply of service.
GST is payable on supply of service. please refer FAQ released by CBEC.

GST – CONCEPT & STATUS – Erstwhile / Old

GST – CONCEPT & STATUS – Erstwhile / Old
GST Law and Procedure – GST Law and Procedure [January, 2019]
GST
GST – CONCEPT & STATUS – As on 3rd June, 2017
Introduction:
The introduction of Goods and Services Tax (GST) would be a very significant step in the field of indirect tax reforms in India. By amalgamating a large number of Central and State taxes into a single tax, it would mitigate cascading or double taxation in a major way and pave the way for a common national market. From the consumer point of view, the biggest advantage would be in terms of a reduction in the overall tax burden on goods, which is currently estimated to be around 25%-30%. Introduction of GST would also make Indian products competitive in the domestic and international markets. Studies show that this would have a boosting impact on economic growth. Last but not the least, this tax, because of its transparent and self-policing character, would be easier to administer.

ly demarcated in the Constitution with almost no overlap between the respective domains. The Centre has the powers to levy tax on the manufacture of goods (except alcoholic liquor for human consumption, opium, narcotics etc.) while the States have the powers to levy tax on sale of goods. In case of inter-State sales, the Centre has the power to levy a tax (the Central Sales Tax) but, the tax is collected and retained entirely by the originating States. As for services, it is the Centre alone that is empowered to levy service tax. Since the States are not empowered to levy any tax on the sale or purchase of goods in the course of their importation into or exportation from India, the Centre levies and collects this tax as additional duties of customs, which is in addition to the Basic Customs Duty. This additional duty of customs (commonly known as CVD and SAD) counter balances excise duties, sales tax, State VAT and other taxes levied on the like domestic product. Introduction of GST wo

territory tax- UTGST). The Parliament would have exclusive power to levy GST (integrated tax – IGST) on inter-State trade or commerce (including imports) in goods or services. The Central Government will have the power to levy excise duty in addition to the GST on tobacco and tobacco products. The tax on supply of five specified petroleum products namely crude, high speed diesel, petrol, ATF and natural gas would be levied from a later date on the recommendation of GST Council.
4.1 A Goods and Services Tax Council (GSTC) shall be constituted comprising the Union Finance Minister, the Minister of State (Revenue) and the State Finance Ministers to recommend on the GST rate, exemption and thresholds, taxes to be subsumed and other features. This mechanism would ensure some degree of harmonization on different aspects of GST between the Centre and the States as well as across States. One half of the total number of members of GSTC would form quorum in meetings of GSTC. Decision in GSTC wo

ssisted by a Secretariat. Fifteen meetings of the GSTC have been held so far. The following major decisions have been taken by the GSTC:
(i) The threshold exemption limit would be ₹ 20 lakh. For special category States enumerated in article 279A of the Constitution, threshold exemption limit has been fixed at ₹ 10 lakh.
(ii) Composition threshold shall be ₹ 50 lakh. Composition scheme shall not be available to inter-State suppliers, service providers (except restaurant service) and specified category of manufacturers.
(iii) Existing tax incentive schemes of Central or State governments may be continued by respective government by way of reimbursement through budgetary route. The schemes, in the present form, would not continue in GST.
(iv) There would be four tax rates namely 5%, 12%, 18% and 28%. The tax rates for different goods and services have been finalized. Besides, some goods and services would be under the list of exempt items. The exempted services has b

10% with the Central tax administration. Further all administrative control over taxpayers having turnover above ₹ 1.5 crore shall be divided equally in the ratio of 50% each for the Central and State tax administration.
(vii) Powers under the IGST Act shall also be cross-empowered on the same basis as under CGST and SGST Acts with few exceptions.
(viii) Power to collect GST in territorial waters shall be delegated by Central Government to the States.
(ix) Formula and mechanism for GST Compensation Cess has been finalised.
(x) Nine rules on registration, composition levy, valuation, tax invoice, input tax credit, payment, returns, refund and transitional provisions have been recommended.
(xi) www.gst.gov.in, managed by GSTN, shall be the Common Goods and Services Tax Electronic Portal.
(xii) Rate of interest on delayed payments and delayed refund has been recommended.
(xiii) Rate of TCS has been recommended.

ition to the applicable customs duties.
(vi) Import of services would be treated as inter-State supplies and would be subject to IGST.
(vii) CGST, SGST /UTGST& IGST would be levied at rates to be mutually agreed upon by the Centre and the States under the aegis of the GSTC.
(viii) GST would replace the following taxes currently levied and collected by the Centre:
a) Central Excise Duty;
b) Duties of Excise (Medicinal and Toilet Preparations);
c) Additional Duties of Excise (Goods of Special Importance);
d) Additional Duties of Excise (Textiles and Textile Products);
e) Additional Duties of Customs (commonly known as CVD);
f) Special Additional Duty of Customs (SAD);
g) Service Tax;
h) Cesses and surcharges insofar as they relate to supply of goods or services.
(ix) State taxes that would be subsumed within the GST are:
a) State VAT;
b) Central Sales Tax;

r of up to ₹ 50 lakh. The threshold exemption and compounding scheme would be optional.
(xiv) The list of exempted goods and services would be kept to a minimum and it would be harmonized for the Centre and the States as well as across States as far as possible.
(xv) Exports would be zero-rated.
 (xvi) Credit of CGST paid on inputs may be used only for paying CGST on the output and the credit of SGST/UTGST paid on inputs may be used only for paying SGST/UTGST. In other words, the two streams of input tax credit (ITC) cannot be cross utilized, except in specified circumstances of inter-State supplies for payment of IGST. The credit would be permitted to be utilized in the following manner:
a) ITC of CGST allowed for payment of CGST & IGST in that order;
b) ITC of SGST allowed for payment of SGST & IGST in that order;
c) ITC of UTGST allowed for payment of UTGST & IGST in that order;
d) ITC of IGST allowed for payment of IGST, CGST & SGST/UTGST in that order.

(xxii) Refund of tax to be sought by taxpayer or by any other person who has borne the incidence of tax within two years from the relevant date.
(xxiii) Obligation on electronic commerce operators to collect 'tax at source', at such rate not exceeding two per cent. (2%) of net value of taxable supplies, out of payments to suppliers supplying goods or services through their portals.

(xxxi) Provision for penalties for contravention of the provision of the proposed legislation has been made.
(xxxii) Advance Ruling Authority would be constituted by States in order to enable the taxpayer to seek a binding clarity on taxation matters from the department. Centre would adopt such authority under CGST Act.
(xxxiii) An anti-profiteering clause has been provided in order to ensure that business passes on the benefit of reduced tax incidence on goods or services or both to the consumers.
(xxxiv) Elaborate transitional provisions have been provided for smooth transition of existing taxpayers to GST regime.
Benefits of GST:
7. (A) Make in India:

oduction thereby helping in the growth of the industries . This will create India as a “Manufacturing hub”.
(B) Ease of Doing Business:
(i) Simpler tax regime with fewer exemptions;
(ii) Reductions in the multiplicity of taxes that are at present governing our indirect tax system leading to simplification and uniformity;

(v) All interaction to be through the common GSTN portal- so less public interface between the taxpayer and the tax administration;
(vi) Will improve environment of compliance as all returns to be filed online, input credits to be verified online, encouraging more paper trail of transactions;

vernment as a private company under erstwhile Section 25 of the Companies Act, 1956. GSTN would provide three front end services to the taxpayers namely registration, payment and return. Besides providing these services to the taxpayers, GSTN would be developing back-end IT modules for 27 States who have opted for the same. The migration of existing taxpayers has already started from November, 2016. The Revenue department of both Centre and States are pursuing the presently registered taxpayers to complete the necessary formalities on the IT system operated by GSTN for successful migration. About 75 percent of existing registrants have already migrated to the GST systems.
8.1 GSTN has selected 34 IT, ITeS and financial technology companies, to be called GST Suvidha Providers (GSPs). GSPs would develop applications to be used by taxpayers for interacting with the GSTN.
Other Legislative Requirements:

DG Systems has already constituted a Steering Committee for implementation of GST System for CBEC. The name of IT project of CBEC under GST is 'SAKSHAM' involving a total project value of ₹ 2,256 crores.

10.2 Augmentation of human resources would be necessary to handle large taxpayers' base in GST scattered across the length and breadth of the country.

(i) Passage of SGST laws by all State legislatures;
(ii) Recommendation of remaining Model GST Rules by GST Council;
(iii) Notification of GST Rules;

ined by using reasonable means consistent with principles & general provisions of GST law. (Best Judgement method)
Open Market Value means the full value in money excluding taxes under GST laws, payable by a person to obtain such supply at the time when supply being valued is made, provided such supply is between unrelated persons and price is the sole consideration for such supply.
Supply of like kind & quality means any other supply made under similar circumstances that is same or closely resembles in respect of characteristics, quality, quantity, functionality, reputation to the supply being valued.
Examples
Example 1:- Where a new phone is supplied for ₹ 20000/- along with the exchange of an old phone and if the price of the new phone without exchange is ₹ 24000/-, the open market value of the new phone is ₹ 24000/-.

At the same time , Sun Enterprises has supplied the same goods to another unrelated person at price 29736 (inclusive of GST @18%).
In this case the value will be determined as per rule 27 of CGST Rules, where the consideration for a supply is not wholly in money, the value will be the open market value.
therefore, in the given case, the open market value of goods supplied is ₹ 2,52,000/- (₹2,97,360*100/118) and is therefore, the value of such goods.
Example 5:- Sun Enterprises supplied a cooler to an unrelated party, Raj Trader for consideration of ₹ 2,95,000/- (inclusive GST @18%). Raj Trader also gave some material to Sun enterprises [Valuing ₹ 10,000 (exclusive of GST)] as consideration for such supply and open market value of goods not available.

Transition Provisions under GST

Transition Provisions under GST
GST Law and Procedure – GST Law and Procedure [January, 2019]
GST
Chapter Twenty
Transition Provisions under GST
GST is a significant reform in the field of indirect taxes in our country. Multiple taxes levied and collected by the Centre and States have been replaced by one tax called Goods and Services Tax (GST). GST is a multi-stage value added tax on consumption of goods or services or both.
As GST sought to consolidate multiple taxes into one it was very essential to have transitional provisions to ensure that the transition to the GST regime is very smooth and hassle free and no ITC (input tax credit) / benefits earned in the existing regime are lost. The transition provisions can be categorized under three heads:
a) relating to input tax credit
b) Continuance of existing procedures such as job work for a reasonable period without any adverse consequence under GST law.
c) All claims (pending as well as future) pertaining to existing l

it on capital goods:
The balance instalment of un-availed credit on capital goods credit can also be taken by filing the requisite declaration in the GST TRAN 1.
c) Credit on duty paid stock:
A registered taxable person, other than manufacturer or service provider, may have a duty paid goods in his stock on 1st July, 2017. GST would be payable on all supplies of goods or services made after the appointed day. It is not the intention of the Government to collect tax twice on the same goods. Hence, in such cases, it has been provided that the credit of the duty/tax paid earlier would be admissible as credit. Such credit can be taken as under:
i. credit shall be taken on the basis of invoice evidencing payment of duty of excise or VAT.
ii. such invoices should be less than one-year old.
iii. declare the stock of duty paid goods within prescribed time on the common portal.
d) credit on duty paid stock when registered person does not possess the document evidencing payment of exc

in each of six tax period has to be submitted
v. Stocks stored should be easily identifiable.
e) Credit relating to exempted goods under the existing law which are now taxable.
Input Tax Credit of CENVAT / VAT in respect of input, semi-finished and finished goods in stock attributable to such exempted goods or services which are now taxable can also be taken in the same manner.
f) Input /input services in transit:
There might be a scenario where input or input services are received on or after the appointed day but the duty or tax on the same was paid by the supplier under the existing law. Registered person (RP) may take credit of eligible duties and taxes, provided the invoice has been recorded in the books within 30 days from 1st July, 2017. The period can be extended by the Commissioner GST by another 30 days. A statement of such invoices have to be furnished. ISD can also distribute such credit.
g) Tax paid under existing law under composition scheme:
Those taxpayers who p

hich the centralized registration was obtained.
i) Reclaim the reversed Input Service credit:
CENVAT credit reversed on account of non-payment of consideration within three months can be reclaimed if payment is made to the supplier of service within 3 months from 1st July, 2017
j) Where any goods or capital goods belonging to the principal are lying at the premises of the agent on the Appointed Day:
This provision is specific to SGST law. In such cases, agent shall be entitled to take credit subject to the following conditions:
i. the agent is a registered taxable person
ii. both the principal and the agent declare the details of stock
iii. the invoices are not earlier than twelve months
iv. the principal has either reversed or not availed of the input tax credit.
b) Transition provisions relating to job work, goods returned/ sent on approval etc.:
a) Job work: –
Inputs, semi-finished goods or finished goods were sent to the job worker or any other premises without paymen

returned by a registered person, then return of goods shall be treated as supply of goods (ITC can be claimed)
c) Goods sent on approval basis before 6 months of the appointed day i.e. 1st July, 2017 but returned within 6 months from 1st July, 2017:
No tax is payable by the person returning the goods. Commissioner may extend the period by 2 months. If returned after that, tax is payable if the supply is taxable under GST (by the recipient. If not returned, tax is payable by the person who sent the goods on approval basis.
d) TDS deducted in VAT
Where a supplier has made any sale of goods and tax was required to be deducted under VAT Act and Invoice was issued before the appointed day, however, the payment was made on or after appointed day. In such cases no TDS under GST is to be deducted.

The Meaning and Scope of Supply (Section 7)

Section 7(1) – For the purposes of this Act, the expression, supply includes –

(a) all forms of supply of goods or services or both such as sale, transfer, barter, exchange, licence, rental, lease or disposal made or agreed to be made for a consideration by a person in the course or furtherance of business;

(aa) the activities or transactions, by a person, other than an individual, to its members or constituents or vice-versa, for cash, deferred payment or other valuable consideration. [Clause (aa) inserted vide Finance Act, 2021, w.r.e.f 1st July 2017]

Explanation.For the purposes of this clause, it is hereby clarified that, notwithstanding anything contained in any other law for the time being in force or any judgment, decree or order of any Court, tribunal or authority, the person and its members or cons

ration and production activities on behalf of the JV.

On the other hand, in example B, the operating member uses its own machinery and is therefore providing 'service' within the scope of supply of CGST Act, 2017. This is because in this scenario, the operating member is recovering the cost appropriated towards machinery and services from the other JV members in their participating interest ratio.

(b) import of services for a consideration whether or not in the course or furtherance of business is considered as supply, even if the transaction does not involve consideration, it still falls under the scope of supply.

(c) the activities specified in Schedule I, made or agreed to be made without a consideration. Some examples are permanent transfer/disposal of business assets where ITC is availed on such assets, supply of goods/services/both between related persons etc.

Commentary : Supply is an important event determining the taxability of all transactio

se agreed to be 'made' signifies that tax is not only payable on supply, that has already been made, but would also be payable in respect to a supply that has been agreed to be made.

GST Law and Procedure – GST Law and Procedure [January, 2019]
GST
Chapter Forty Seven
TDS Mechanism under GST
Under the GST regime, section 51 of the CGST Act, 2017 prescribes the authority and procedure for 'Tax Deduction at Source'. The Government may order the following persons (the deductor) to deduct tax at source:
(a) a department or establishment of the Central Government or State Government; or
(b) local authority; or
(c) Governmental agencies; or
(d) such persons or category of persons as may be notified by the Government on the recommendations of the Council.
The tax would be deducted @1% of the payment made to the supplier (the deductee) of taxable goods or services or both, where the total value of such supply, under a contract, exceeds two lakh and fifty thousand rupees (excluding the amount of central tax, State tax, Union territory tax, integrated tax and cess indicated in the invoice). Thus, individual supplies may be less than &#

= = = = = = = =

cated in State B. The supply would be intra-State supply and Central tax and State tax would be levied. In such case, transfer of TDS (Central tax + State tax State B) to the cash ledger of the supplier (Central tax + State tax of State A) would be difficult. So in such cases, TDS would not be deducted.
Thus, when both the supplier as well as place of supply are different from that of recipient, no tax deduction at source would be made.
Registration of TDS deductors: A TDS deductor has to compulsorily register without any threshold limit. The deductor has a privilege of obtaining registration under GST without having required to obtain PAN. He can obtain registration using his Tax Deduction and Collection Account Number (TAN) issued under the Income Tax Act, 1961.
Deposit of TDS with the government: The amount of tax deducted at source should be deposited to the Government account by the deductor by 10th of the succeeding month. The deductor would be liable to pay interest if the ta

shall not include 18% GST. The TDS, so deducted, shall be deposited in the account of government by 10th of the succeeding month. The TDS so deposited in the government account shall be reflected in the electronic cash ledger of the supplier (i.e. deductee) who would be able to use the same for payment of tax or any other amount. The purpose of TDS is just to enable the government to have a trail of transactions and to monitor and verify the compliances.
TDS Return: The deductor is also required to file a return in Form GSTR-7 within 10 days from the end of the month. If the supplier is unregistered, name of the supplier rather than GSTIN shall be mentioned in the return. The details of tax deducted at source furnished by the deductor in FORM GSTR-7 shall be made available to each of the suppliers in Part C of FORM GSTR-2A electronically through the Common Portal and the said supplier may include the same in FORM GSTR-2. The amounts deducted by the deductor get reflected in the GSTR-2

GST
Chapter Forty Eight
TCS Mechanism under GST
Tax Collection at Source (TCS) has similarities with TDS, as well as has distinctive features also. TDS  refers to tax which is deducted when recipient of goods or services makes some payments under a contract etc. while TCS refers to tax which is collected by the electronic commerce operator when a supplier supplies some goods or services through its portal and the payment for that supply is collected by the electronic commerce operator. We will discuss the exact nature of TCS with an example. There are many e-Commerce operators [hereinafter referred to as an Operator], like Amazon, Flipkart, Jabong, etc. operating in India. These operators displays / lists on their portal products as well as services which are actually supplied by some other person to the consumer. The goods or services belonging to other suppliers are displayed on the

lating to TCS.
Registration: The ecommerce operator as well as the supplier supplying goods or services through an operator need to compulsorily register under GST. The threshold limit of ₹ 20 lakhs (10 lakhs for special category states) is not applicable to them. Section 24(x) of the CGST Act, 2017 makes it mandatory for every e-Commerce Operator to get registered under GST. Similarly, section 24(ix) of the CGST Act, 2017 makes it mandatory for every person who supplies goods/services through an Operator to get registered under GST.
Power to collect tax: Section 52 of the CGST Act, 2017 provides for Tax Collection at source, by e-Commerce operator in respect of the taxable supplies made through it by other suppliers, where the consideration in respect of such supplies is collected by him.
TCS Statement: The amount of tax so collected by the operator is required to be deposited by the 10th of the following month, during which such collection is made. The operator is also requi

, submitted by every operator in the statements will be matched with the details of supplies submitted by all such suppliers in their returns. If there is any discrepancy in the value of supplies, the same would be communicated to both of them. If such discrepancy in value is not rectified within the given time, then such amount would be added to the output tax liability of such suppler.
The supplier will have to pay the differential amount of output tax along with interest.
Notice to the Operator: An officer not below the rank of Deputy Commissioner can issue notice to an Operator asking him to furnish details relating to volume of goods/ services supplied, stock of goods lying in warehouses/ godowns, etc. The Operator is required to furnish such details within 15 working days. In case an Operator fails to furnish the information, besides being liable for penal action under section 122 shall also be liable for penalty up to ₹ 25,000/-

Introduction
In any tax system registration is the most fundamental requirement for identification of tax payers ensuring tax compliance in the economy. Registration of any business entity under the GST Law implies obtaining a unique number from the concerned tax authorities for the purpose of collecting tax on behalf of the government and to avail Input tax credit for the taxes on his inward supplies. Without registration, a person can neither collect tax from his customers nor claim any input tax credit of tax paid by him.
As per article 279A(4) of the Constitution of India, The GST Council shall make recommendation to the uni

Refunds under GST – Introduction

Chapter Thirty Four
Refunds under GST
INTRODUCTION
Timely refund mechanism is essential in tax administration, as it facilitates trade through release of blocked funds for working capital, expansion and modernization of existing business.
The provisions pertaining to refund contained in the GST law aim to streamline and standardise the refund procedures under GST regime. Thus, under the GST regime there will be a standardised form for making any claim for refunds. The claim and sanctioning procedure will be completely online and time bound which is a marked departure from the existing time consuming and cumbersome procedure.
It has been decided, however, that since the online refund module is not available immediately, the refund process would be handled manually and Circular No. 17/17/2017GST dated 15.11.2017 Superseded Vide Circular No. 125/44/2019-GST dated 18-1

of pre-deposit
9. Excess payment due to mistake
10. Refunds to International tourists of GST paid on goods in India and carried abroad at the time of their departure from India
11. Refund on account of issuance of refund vouchers for taxes paid on advances against which goods or services have not been supplied
12. Refund of CGST & SGST paid by treating the supply as intra-State supply which is subsequently held as inter-State supply and vice versa.
Thus practically every situation is covered. The GST law requires that every claim for refund is to be filed within 2 years from the relevant date.
CREDIT NOTES
Further, Section 34 of the CGST Act, 2017 provides for issuance of credit notes for post supply discounts or if goods are returned back within a stipulated time. When such credit notes are issued, obviously it would call for reduction in output liability of the supplier. Hence, the taxes paid initially on the supply would be higher than what is actually payable. In such a scen

(b) supply of goods or services or both to a Special Economic Zone developer or a Special Economic Zone unit.
On account of zero rating of supplies, the supplier will be entitled to claim input tax credit in respect of goods or services or both used for such supplies even though they might be non-taxable or even exempt supplies. Every person making claim of refund on account of zero rated supplies has two options. Either he can export under Bond/ LUT and claim refund of accumulated Input Tax Credit or he may export on payment of integrated tax and claim refund thereof as per the provisions of Section 54 of CGST Act, 2017. Thus, the GST law allows the flexibility to the exporter (which will include the supplier making supplies to SEZ) to claim refund upfront as integrated tax (by making supplies on payment of tax using ITC) or export without payment of tax by executing a Bond/LUT and claim refund of related ITC of taxes paid on inputs and input services used in making zero rated su

chment.
CLAIM BY A PERSON WHO HAS BORNE THE INCIDENCE OF TAX
Any tax collected by the taxable person more than the tax due on such supplies must be credited to the Government account. The law makes explicit provision for the person who has borne the incidence of tax to file refund claim in accordance with the provisions of Section 54 of the CGST Act, 2017.
REFUNDS TO CASUAL/NON-RESIDENT TAXABLE PERSONS
A casual/Non-resident taxable person has to pay tax in advance at the time of registration. Refund may become due to such persons at the end of the registration period because the tax paid in advance may be more than the actual tax liability on the supplies made by them during the period of validity of registration period. The law envisages refund to such categories of taxable persons also. But the amount of excess advance tax shall not be refunded unless such person has filed all the returns due during the time their registration was effective. It is only after such compliance that

try seek refund of integrated tax paid by them. The term, “tourist” has been defined and refers to any person who is not normally resident in India and who enters India for a stay of not more than 6 months for legitimate non-immigrant purposes.
UNJUST ENRICHMENT
Talking about unjust enrichment, a presumption is always drawn that the businessman will shift the incidence of tax to the final consumer. This is because GST is an indirect tax whose incidence is to be borne by the consumer. It is for this reason that every claim of refund (barring specified exceptions) need to pass the test of unjust enrichment. And every such claim if sanctioned is first transferred to the Consumer Welfare Fund. The GST law makes this test inapplicable in case of refund of accumulated ITC, refund on account of exports, refund of payment of wrong tax (integrated tax instead of central tax plus state tax and vice versa), refund of tax paid on a supply which is not provided or which refund voucher is issued o

cknowledgement shall be made available to the applicant through the common portal electronically. However, till the time the refund module on the GSTN portal is operationalised, facility for manual filing of refund claims has been provided. The claim for refund of amount lying in the credit balance of the cash ledger can be made in the monthly returns also. The proper officer has to convey deficiencies if any in the refund claimed in such cases the claim will be sent back to the applicant along with the notified deficiencies and the applicant can file the refund claim again after making goods the deficiencies. The claim, if in order, has to be sanctioned within a period of 60 days from the date of receipt of the application of claim complete in all respect. If this mandatory period is exceeded, interest at the rate of 6% (9% in case of refund made on order passed by an adjudicating authority or Appellate Tribunal or court which has attained finality) will become payable along with refu

at they have not availed input tax credit of the tax paid by the supplier. If the claim is for refund of accumulated ITC, only a statement containing invoice details as prescribed in the refund chapter of the CGST Rules, 2017 need to be given. In case of claim of refund on account of any order or judgment of appellate authority or court, the reference number of the order giving rise to refund should also be given. For crossing the bar of unjust enrichment, if the refund claim is less than ₹ 2 Lakhs, then a self-declaration by the applicant to the effect that the incidence of tax has not been passed to any other person will suffice to process the refund claim. For refund claims exceeding ₹ 2 Lakhs, a certificate from a Chartered Accountant/Cost Accountant will have to be given.
COMPLIANCE WITH NATURAL JUSTICE

Recovery of Tax

GST
Chapter Fifty One
Recovery of Tax
1. All tax administration occasionally comes across a situation where the tax dues are not paid correctly by the tax payers, most of the times inadvertently and sometimes deliberately. To minimise the inadvertent short payment of taxes the concept of 'Matching' of details of 'Outward supplies' of supplier with the details of 'Inward supplies' of recipient has been introduced in the GST Act. Moreover, the self-assessed tax has to be paid by due date prescribed under the GST Act and in case of any failure to pay the same by due date the Input Tax Credit will not be available to his customers and also the tax payer will not be able to file any return for further period. Effectually these provisions works as a Self-Policing system and takes care of any mis-match in the payment of taxes. However, despite these provisions there may arise some instances where the tax

4. All these provisions make it clear that there are sufficient opportunities to make amend and discharge the tax liability with nil or nominal penalties. However, there are disincentives also for the person who fails to utilise these beneficial provisions. Besides that, the law also provides that the Board may fix certain monetary limits for not filing an Appeal against any order. It means if any order is passed in favour of the assessee the department will not pursue the case further by filing Appeals if the amount involved is less than the specified limit. At present, under the existing laws, the monetary limits for not filing an appeal to various judicial forums are follows: –
i. Tribunal- ₹ 10 Lakhs
ii. High Courts- ₹ 20 Lakhs and
iii. Supreme Court- ₹ 25 Lakhs

iii. However, considering various business aspects the provisions for payment of all such amounts, other than self-assessed tax, in instalments have also been made in the Act. A person can avail this benefit of payment in instalments, by making application to the Commissioner by specifying reasons for such request. On receipt of such application the Commissioner may allow payment of amount in instalments, subject to maximum 24 monthly instalments and on payment of applicable interest.
Here it may be noted that if there is default in payment of any one instalment then the whole outstanding balance shall become due and payable immediately.

Value of supply in case of Pure Agent Concept in GST [Rule 33 of CGST Rules]

Value of supply in case of Pure Agent Concept in GST [Rule 33 of CGST Rules]
Valuation / Value of Supply – GST Ready Reckoner
GST
Determination of value of supply in case of Pure Agent Concept in (GST Rule 33 Of CGST Rules)
Introduction
* The GST Act defines an Agent as a person including a factor, broker, commission agent, arhatia, del credere agent, an auctioneer or any other mercantile agent, by whatever name called, who carries on the business of supply or receipt of goods or services or both on behalf of another.
* So, who is a pure agent and why is a pure agent relevant under GST?
* Broadly, speaking a pure agent is one who while making a supply to the recipient, also receives and incurs expenditure on some other supply on behalf of the recipient and claims reimbursement (as actual, without adding it to the value of his own supply) for such supplies from the recipient of the main supply . While the relationship between them (provider of service and recipient of se

act is that, the person who provides any service as a pure agent receives only the actual amount for the services provided. Coming back to our example of Importer and Customs Broker, the agreement provides reimbursement of transport services utilised at actuals.
* In this case, let's say the value of transport service was ₹ 10,000/-. If the Customs Broker charges any amount more than ₹ 10,000/-, then he will not be considered as a pure agent for the services of transport and the value of transport service will be included in the value of his Customs Broker service.
EXCLUSION FROM VALUE
Expenditure incurred as pure agent becomes relevant, when it comes to determining the value of a supply for levy of GST (Rule 33 of CGST Rule). The preceding para explains who will be considered as a pure agent. The valuation rules provide that expenditure incurred as pure agent, will be excluded from the value of supply, and thus also from aggregate turnover. However, such exc

uded in the value of supply under GST.
The following illustration will make the concept clearer.
* Corporate services firm A is engaged to handle the legal work pertaining to the incorporation of Company B.
* Other than its service fees, A also recovers from B, registration fee and approval fee for the name of the company paid to Registrar of the Companies.
* The fees charged by the Registrar of the companies, registration and approval of the name are compulsorily levied on B.
* A is merely acting as a pure agent in the payment of those fees.
* Therefore, A's recovery of such expenses is a reimbursement and not part of the value of supply made by A to B.

*
Toll charges paid are not to be excluded from the value of supply under Rule 33. GST shall, therefore, be payable at the applicable rate on the entire value of the supply, including toll charges paid.
*
The Applicant is not acting as a 'pure agent' of the Bank while paying toll charges, which are the cost of the service provided to the Banks so that his vehicles can access roads/bridges to provide security services to the recipient.

2. clarified in erstwhile Service Tax regime by CBEC vide Circular No. 175/01/2014 – ST, Dated: January 10, 2014;
Issue:- If a RWA provides certain services such as payment of electricity or water bill issued by third person, in the name of its members, acting as a 'pure agent' of its members, is exclusion from value of taxable service available for the purposes of exemptions provided in Notification 33/2012-ST or 25/2012-ST ?
Clarification:- In Rule 5(2) of the Service Tax (Determination of Value) Rules, 2006, it is provided that expenditure or costs incurred by a service provider as a pure agent of the recipient of service shall be excluded from the value of taxable service, subject to the conditions specified in the Rule.

thorises B, to incur expenditure on his behalf for procuring the services of a transporter and agrees to reimburse B for the transportation cost at actuals.
* In the given illustration, B is providing Customs Brokers service to A, which would be on a principal to principal basis. The ancillary service of transportation is procured by B on behalf of A as a pure agent and expenses incurred by B on transportation should not form part of value of Customs Broker service provided by B to A. This, in sum and substance is the relevance of the pure agent concept in GST.

RPM Ltd enters into a contract with Mudra Logistics, a licensed customs broker with its office at Ahmedabad (Gujarat), to meet all the legal formalities in getting the said machine cleared from the customs station.

In this case
* Mudra Logistics has entered into a contractual agreement with recipient of supply, RMP Pvt.  Ltd.., to incur, on behalf of such recipient, the expenses mentioned in S. No. (2) to (7) incurred in relation to clearance of the imported machine from the customs station and bringing the same to the warehouse of the recipient. Further, Mudra Logistics does not hold any title to said services and does not use them for his own interest.
* Lastly, Mudra Logistics receives only the actual amount incurred to procure such services in addition to agency charges. Thus, Mudra Logistics qualifies as a pure agent.

hould the services provided by them be left out of the tax net.
