Case-Laws – GST – Highlights – The HC dismissed the petition on the ground that efficacious alternative statutory remedies of appeal were available to the petitioner. Freezing of the petitioner's bank account did not violate principles of natural justice as it would not affect the petitioner's ability to institute an appeal by making the pre-deposit. The HC relied on precedents like Oberoi Constructions Ltd and Greatship (India) Limited, which emphasized exhaustion of statutory appellate remedies before entertaining writ petitions, especially in cases involving factual inquiries or classification disputes. The HC noted the tendency to bypass statutory remedies and held that general averments cannot justify bypassing such remedies. The petition was dismissed, and the petitioner was relegated to the alternative remedy of appeal before the Appellate Authority. – TMI Updates – Highlights, quick notes, marquee, annotation, news, alerts Tax Management India – taxmanagementindia – taxmanagement – taxmanagementindia.com – TMI – TaxTMI – TMITax

Case-Laws – GST – Highlights – The HC quashed the order raising demand for IGST on goods cleared from SEZ to DTA. The petitioner was not required to pay IGST on such supply as it is treated as import for DTA unit which is liable to pay IGST and duties. The respondent failed to consider provisions of Section 74 requiring adjudication of show cause notice by considering reply and provisions of the Act. The attempt to justify the order based on Sections 37 and 39 was unacceptable.

Case-Laws – GST – Highlights – The HC quashed the order demanding interest and penalty from the petitioner company on delayed payment of excise duty. The petitioner had voluntarily paid the duty after a Central Government audit. However, the authorities failed to issue a show cause notice and provide an opportunity of hearing to the petitioner before imposing interest and penalty u/ss 11AA and 11AC of the Excise Act. The HC held that a speaking order was required after considering the petitioner's defense on whether the duty payment was actually delayed and if voluntary deposit entitled it to benefit. As the mandatory procedure was not followed, the demand of interest and penalty was unsustainable. – TMI Updates – Highlights, quick notes, marquee, annotation, news, alerts Tax Management India – taxmanagementindia – taxmanagement – taxmanagementindia.com – TMI – TaxTMI – TMITax

Case-Laws – GST – Highlights – The HC dismissed the writ petition. Rule 86A of the Central GST Rules, 2017 allows blocking of electronic credit ledger where ITC was obtained from fake/non-existent suppliers. Though the initial communication lacked detailed reasons, subsequent communications provided grounds for blocking ITC. Blocking ITC does not amount to recovery but prevents using ineligible ITC. Recording reasons initially in a cryptic manner in the order, with subsequent elaboration, meets principles of natural justice. The scheme u/r 86A is to set aside wrongfully utilized ITC, awaiting assessment/penalty order u/ss 73/74 read with Section 122 of the GST Act. The HC disagreed with the views of Gujarat and Telangana HCs on this issue. – TMI Updates – Highlights, quick notes, marquee, annotation, news, alerts Tax Management India – taxmanagementindia – taxmanagement – taxmanagementindia.com – TMI – TaxTMI – TMITax
