Document 1
If the refund claim is less than Rs. 2 lakh, there is no need for the
claimant to furnish any documentary evidence to prove that he has
not passed on the incidence of tax to any other person. Refund of
input tax credit is allowed in case of exports or where the credit
accumulation is on account of inverted duty structure (i.e. where
the tax rate on output is higher than that on inputs), barring few
exceptions.

Overview of GST
The salient features of GST are as under:
(a) GST is applicable on the supply of goods or services as
against the earlier concepts of tax on the manufacture
or sale of goods or provision of services. It is a
destination-based consumption tax. This means that
tax would accrue to the State or the Union Territory
where the consumption takes place.
(b) GST applies to all goods other than alcoh

e has been formulated for
small businessmen being supplier of goods
and supplier of restaurant services. Under the
scheme, person with Aggregate Annual Turnover up
to 1.5 Cr (*75 Lakh in States of Arunachal Pradesh,
Manipur, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Nagaland, Sikkim,
Tripura and Uttarakhand) needs to pay tax equal
to 1% to 5% on his Aggregate Annual Turnover and
needs to file his returns annually with quarterly
payment from FY 2019-20.

•
Composition scheme has been made available
for suppliers of services (to those who are not
eligible for the Composition Scheme mentioned
in (a) above) with a tax rate of 6% (3% CGST + 3%
SGST) having an Aggregate Annual Turnover in
the preceding FY up to 50 Lakh. They would be
liable to file one Annual Return with quarterly
payment of taxes. This has been made effective
from 01st April, 2019.
A taxpayer opting for composition levy is not
allowed to collect any tax from his customers
nor is he entitled to claim any input tax

of CGST and SGST or UTGST,
as the case may be, in any order. Further, input tax
credit on account of CGST, SGST or UTGST shall be
utilised towards payment of IGST, CGST, SGST or
UTGST, as the case may be, only after the input tax
credit available on account of integrated tax has first
been utilised fully.
(g) GST is largely technology-driven. It reduces the
human interface to a great extent and this would

lead to speedy decisions.
(h) GST has given a major boost to the 'Make in India'
initiative of the Government of India by making
goods and services produced in India competitive in
the National as well as International market. Also, all
imported goods are charged Integrated Tax (IGST)
which is equivalent to Central GST + State GST. This
brings equality with taxation on domestic products.
(i) Under the GST regime, Exports and supplies to SEZ
are treated as zero-rated supplies. This ensures
boosting of Indian exports in the international
market thus improving the

The physical interface between the taxpayer and the tax
authorities is minimal under GST. Certain important provisions
in this regard are as under:
(a) There is cross-empowerment of officers belonging
to Central and State Governments. Officer of CGST
have been empowered to act as proper officer of
SGST and vice versa. The taxpayer has to interact
with only one authority.

(b) Registration is granted online and shall be deemed to
have been granted if no deficiency is communicated
to the applicant within seven working days by
the tax administration which has been allotted
the examination of the application. If Aadhaar
authentication is not done by the applicant or if the
authentication fails, registration would be granted
after physical verification of business premises
within 30 days.
(c) Taxable person shall himself assess the taxes payable
(self-assessment) and credit it to the account of the
Government. The return filed by the tax payer would
be treated as sel

GST is largely technology driven. The interface of the
taxpayer with the tax authorities is through the common
portal (GSTN). There are simplified and automated
procedures for various processes such as registration,
returns, refunds, tax payments, etc. All processes, be it
of applying for registration, filing of returns, payment of
taxes, filing of refund claims etc., are online through GSTN.
The input tax credit is verified online. Electronic matching
of input tax credit across India makes the process more

ing a set-off of prior-stage
taxes for the transactions across the entire value chain,
GST mitigates all the ill effects of cascading and thereby
improves competitiveness in the markets, in India and
across globe.
GST is a destination based consumption tax. It has been
designed in such a manner that tax is collected at every
stage, with the credit of tax paid at the previous stage
available to set off against the tax to be paid at the stage
of transaction, thereby eliminating cascading effect of
taxes on prices of goods and services. This eradicates
tax on tax and allows cross utilization of input tax credit
which benefit the business and commerce by making
the entire supply chain tax neutral.
GST has given a major boost to the 'Make in India'
initiative of the Government by making goods or
services produced or provided in India competitive
in the national and international markets. Further,
all imported goods are being charged integrated tax
(IGST) which is more or

the office for the above purpose.
GST has brought buoyancy to the Government Revenue
by widening the tax base and improving the taxpayer
compliance.
GST prevents cascading of taxes by providing a
comprehensive input tax credit mechanism across
the entire supply chain. Such a seamless availability
of Input Tax Credit across goods or services at every
stage of supply has enabled streamlining of business
operations. The national e-way bill for movement of
goods anywhere in India without any barrier has unified
the all India supply chain mechanism.
Uniform GST rates for goods and services have reduced
the incentive for evasion by eliminating rate arbitrage
between neighbouring States and that between intra
and inter-State sales.
Harmonization of laws, procedures and rates of tax has
made compliance easier and simple. There are common
definitions, common forms/ formats, common interface
through common portal (GSTN) resulting in efficiencies
and synergies across

or he has contravened the provisions of the scheme, then he
will seek a reply by issuing a show cause notice to such person
in the FORM GST CMP-05. This notice is to be replied within
15 days of receipt of the same. Thereafter within 30 days of

y scheme,
quarterly payment of tax and yearly filing of return have been
prescribed. This will ease the compliance burden for SMEs,
and they can focus more on their business rather than getting
occupied in compliance procedures.
(b) Reduce tax liability: Another advantage of being registered
with Composition Levy scheme is the rate structure. While
most of the services fall under either 12% or 18% GST bracket,
Composition service providers need to pay only 6% of supplies
made by them.
6
(c) High Liquidity: For normal taxpayers, most of the working
capital is blocked as Input Tax Credit because the taxpayer can
avail ITC only if his supplier has filed the return. The supplier has
to pay tax at standard rate and the Credit of Input Tax will be
availed only when his supplier files the return. In Composition
Levy scheme, the taxpayer need not worry about his supplier
filing return as he cannot take the credit and will pay tax at
nominal rate.

Tax has the potential to boost revenue for the
government, lower the budget deficit, which means more funds will
be generated to spend on the welfare of the society and people.
There will always be a section of traders, dealers or taxpayers who will
find it difficult to maintain books of accounts or fulfil the compliance
requirements of tax laws. This may happen due to the small size of
their business or due to the nature of their business. To give benefit
to these businesses, Composition Levy scheme has been launched for
such small taxpayers.
The scheme is quite beneficial to small suppliers and intra-state local
suppliers as it prevents them from various procedural compliances
and gives a hassle free working environment. In pre-GST era, to make
compliances better for small businesses, States have provisions in
their VAT law about the Composition Levy scheme. Similarly, even in
GST, Composition Levy scheme has been introduced to safeguard the
interests of small busines

Composition Levy Scheme under GST law
The Composition Levy is an alternative method of levy of tax designed for
small taxpayers whose turnover is up to prescribed limit. The objective
of Composition Levy scheme is to bring simplicity, ease the compliance
burden and reduce cost of compliance for the small taxpayers. The
scheme is optional. It essentially provides for a turnover tax regime for
such taxpayers, with facility for filing of return on annual basis along
with quarterly payment of tax. Under this scheme, a registered taxable
person, whose Aggregate Annual Turnover has not exceeded
1.50 Cr
in case of goods (Rs. 75 Lakh in case of Uttarakhand and 7 North Eastern
States) in the previous financial year, may opt for this scheme.
Composition Levy scheme has been made available for suppliers of
services (to those who are otherwise not eligible under Section 10(1)
of the CGST Act) with a tax rate of 6%

Further, the exemption from e-invoicing is with respect
to the entity and not with respect to the nature of supply/
transaction.
Is e-Invoicing applicable for NIL-rated or wholly-exempt
supplies?
No, e-Invoice is not required for NIL-rated or wholly-exempt
supplies. In those cases, a bill of supply is issued and not a tax
invoice.
Applicability of e-Invoicing for supplies involving Reverse
Charge:
If the invoice issued by notified person is in respect of supplies
made by him but attracting reverse charge under Section
9(3) of the CGST Act, e-invoicing is applicable. For example, a
taxpayer (say, a Firm of Advocates having Aggregate Annual
Turnover in a FY is more than 500 Cr) is supplying services to
a company (who will be discharging tax liability as recipient
under RCM), such invoices have to be reported by the notified
person to IRP.

Electronic Way Bill
Introduction:
A e-Way Bill is a document required for movement of goods and it
includes details such as name of consignor, consignee, transporter, the
point of origin of the movement of goods and its destination.
Electronic Way Bill (e-Way Bill) is basically a compliance mechanism
wherein by way of a digital interface the person causing the movement
of goods uploads the relevant information prior to the commencement
of movement of goods and generates e-Way Bill on the GST portal.
Section 68 of the CGST Act mandates that the Government may require
the person in charge of a conveyance carrying any consignment of goods
of value exceeding such amount as may be specified to carry with him
such documents and such devices as may be prescribed. Rule 138 o

goods at different
times. However, all States have introduced the e-Way Bill latest from 16th
June, 2018.
e-Way Bill under GST:
e-Way Bill (FORM GST EWB-01) is an electronic document (available
to supplier / recipient / transporter) generated on the common portal
evidencing movement of goods of consignment value more than
50,000/-. It has two Components- Part A comprising of details of
GSTIN of supplier & recipient, place of delivery (indicating PIN Code
also), document (Tax invoice, Bill of Supply, Delivery Challan or Bill of
Entry) number and date, value of goods, HSN code and reasons for
transportation; and Part B comprising of transport details – transport
document number (Goods Receipt Number or Railway Receipt Number
or Airway Bill Number or Bill of Lading Number) and Vehicle number for
road transportation.
Consignment Value: The consignment value of goods shall be the value,
determined in accordance with the provisions of Section 15 of the CGST
Act, 2017, decla

clause (a), has not
furnished the returns for a consecutive period of two tax periods;
(c) being a person other than a person specified in clause (a), has not
furnished the statement of outward supplies for any two months
or quarters, as the case may be;
(d) being a person, whose registration has been suspended.
The Commissioner or an officer authorised by him, however, has been
authorised to permit generation of e-Way Bill even where the return /
FORM GST PMT-08 has not been furnished. The registered person need
to apply in FORM GST EWB-05 and order permitting / rejection the
application would be issued in FORM GST EWB-06.
Blocking/Unblocking of e-Way Bills for non-furnishing of returns:
Blocking of e-Way Bill generation facility means disabling taxpayer from
generating e-Way Bill, (Rule 138E of CGST Rules, 2017). CBIC in Notification
No. 15/2021-Central Tax dated 18.05.2021 has notified that the blocking
of GSTINS for e-Way Bill generation is now considered only for th

this Act or the Rules made thereunder, all such goods and conveyance
used as a means of transport for carrying the said goods and documents
relating to such goods and conveyance shall be liable to detention or
seizure.
Enforcement:
The Commissioner or an officer empowered by him in this behalf may
authorise any officer to intercept any conveyance to verify the e-Way Bill
or the e-Way Bill number for all inter-State and intra-State movement of
goods.
The physical verification of conveyances may also be carried out by
the proper officer as authorised by the Commissioner or an officer
empowered by him in this behalf. Physical verification of a specific

ation in case of minor typographical mistakes:
As per Circular No. 64/38/2018 GST dated 14.09.2018, it is prescribed
that, in case a consignment of goods is accompanied with an invoice
or any other specified document and also an e-Way Bill, proceedings
under Section 129 of the CGST Act may not be initiated, in the following
situations:
(a) Spelling mistakes in the name of the consignor or the consignee
but the GSTIN, wherever applicable, is correct;
(b) Error in the pin-code but the address of the consignor and the
consignee mentioned is correct, subject to the condition that the
error in the pin code should not have the effect of increasing the
validity period of the e-Way Bill;
(c) Error in the address of the consignee to the extent that the
locality and other details of the consignee are correct;
(d) Error in one or two digits of the document number mentioned in

t, return filing etc. and same is
www.ewaybillgst.gov.in. All the registered persons under GST need to
register on the portal of e-Way Bill namely www.ewaybillgst.gov.in using
GSTIN. Once GSTIN is entered, the system sends an OTP to registered
mobile number, registered with GST Portal and after authenticating
the same, the system enables the taxpayer to generate username and
password for the e-Way Bill system. After generation of username
and password of choice, the taxpayer may proceed to make entries to
generate e-Way Bill. The transporters, who are not registered under the
GST but cause movement of goods for their clients, need to enroll on the
e-Way Bill portal and get 15-digit Unique Transporter ID.
Who should generate the e-Way Bill and Why?
e-Way Bill is to be generated by the consignor or consignee himself if
the transportation is being done in own/hired conveyance or by railways,
by air or by Vessel. If the goods are handed over to a transporter for
transportati

person
who has been exempted from the requirement of obtaining registration,
the e-Way Bill shall be generated by the said person irrespective of the
value of the consignment.
Also, where handicraft goods are transported from one State to another
by a person who has been exempted from the requirement of obtaining
registration, the e-Way Bill shall be generated by the said person
irrespective of the value of the consignment.
How is it generated?
An e-Way Bill contains two parts- Part-A to be furnished by the person
who is causing movement of goods of consignment value exceeding
*50,000/- and Part-B (transport details) to be furnished by the person
who is transporting the goods. Where the goods are transported by a
3
registered person-whether as consignor or recipient, the said person
shall have to generate the e-Way Bill by furnishing information in Part- B
on the GST e-Way portal. The transporter, on an authorization received
from the registered person, may furnish Par

r rejection of the consignment covered by the e-Way Bill.
In case,
the recipient does not communicate his rejection within seventy-
two hours of the details being made available to him on the common
portal, it shall be deemed that he has accepted the said details.
Validity of e-Way Bill: The validity of e-Way Bill depends on the distance
to be travelled by the goods. In case of non Over Dimensional Cargo
(ODC), for a distance of less than 200 Km the e-Way Bill will be valid for a
day from the relevant date. For every 200 Km or part thereof, thereafter,
the validity will be additional one day from the relevant date.
In case of ODC or multimodal shipment in which at least one leg involves
transport by ship, for a distance of less than 20 Km, the validity of EWB
will be valid for a day from the relevant day and for every 20km or part
thereof thereafter, the validity will be additional one day from the
relevant date.

Further, the mode of transport 'Ship' has now been updated to 'Ship/
Road cum Ship' so that the user can enter a vehicle number where
goods are initially moved by road and a Bill of lading number and date
for movement by ship. This will help in availing the ODC benefits for
movement using ships and facilitate the updating of vehicle details as
and when moved on road.
e-Way Bill in respect to goods stored in transporter's godown:
(a) In case the consignee/ recipient taxpayer stores his goods in the
godown of the transporter, then the transporter's godown may
be declared as an additional place of business by the recipient
taxpayer. In such cases, mere declaration by the recipient taxpayer
to this effect with the concurrence of the transporter in the said
declaration will suffi

State movement but intra-
State supply.
(c) e-Way Bill is required even in case where the movement of goods
commences and terminates in the same State and just transits
through another State.
Consequences of non-conformance to e-Way Bill rules:
If e-Way Bills, wherever required, are not issued in accordance with the
provisions contained in Rule 138 of the CGST Rules, 2017, the same will
be considered as contravention of Rules. As per Section 122 of the CGST
Act, 2017, a taxable person who transports any taxable goods without
the cover of specified documents (e-Way Bill is one of the specified
documents) shall be liable to a penalty of Rs.10,000/- or tax sought to be
evaded (wherever applicable) whichever is greater. As per Section 129

so be exempted under the CGST Rules. The SGST/UTGST Rules are
basically in respect of intra-State movement and the CGST Rules are in
respect of inter-State movement. EWB is not required even when there's
supply without any movement of goods. It may also be noted that EWB
is required for every inter-State movement of goods even in cases where
the supply is intra-State.
Cancellation of e-Way Bill:
Where an e-Way Bill has been generated under this Rule, but goods
are either not transported or are not transported as per the details
furnished in the e-Way Bill, the e-Way Bill may be cancelled electronically
on the common portal, within 24 hours of generation of the e-Way Bill.
However, an e-Way Bill cannot be cancelled if it has been verified in
transit in accordance with the provisions of Rule 138B of the CGST Rules,
2017.
The facility of generation and cancellation of e-Way Bill will also be made
available through SMS, Android App, Application Process Interface (API),
etc.

he rules provide that any transporter
transferring goods from one conveyance to another in the course of
transit shall, before such transfer and further movement of goods, update
the details of the conveyance in the e-Way Bill on the common portal in
Part-B of FORM GST EWB-01.
The person in charge of a conveyance has to carry the invoice or Bill of
Supply or delivery challan, as the case may be; and a copy of the e-Way Bill
or the e-Way Bill number, either physically or mapped to a Radio Frequency
Identification Device embedded on to the conveyance in such manner as
may be notified by the Commissioner. However, where circumstances so
warrant, the Commissioner may, by notification, require the person-in-
charge of the conveyance to carry the following documents instead of the
e-Way Bill:
(a) tax invoice or Bill of Supply or Bill of Entry (in case of imported
goods); or
(b) a delivery challan, where the goods are transported for reasons
other than by way of supply.

(d) Place of Delivery: This includes the address of the place where the
goods need to be delivered, this address may be different from the
address captured under ship-to address.
Thus, e-Way Bill can be generated for “Bill To-Ship To” transactions by

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.
Need and advantages of registration:
Registration will confer the following advantages to a taxpayer:
(a) He is legally recognized as supplier of goods or services;
(b) He is legally authorized to collect tax from his customers and
pass on the credit of the taxes paid on the goods or services
supplied to the purchasers/ recipients;

such a supplier to register in light of Notification No. 05/2017-Central

tariff Area (i.e. outside the SEZ) in the same State, then he has to take
separate registration for his SEZ unit as a separate business vertical
of him. If a supplier also wants to distribute credit to his same-PAN
entities, then he will take separate registration as â۬input service
distributor' in addition to his registration as â۬supplier'. Unlike service
tax regime, the GST law does not have the facility of centralized
registration for units located across multiple States.
In GST registration, the supplier is allotted a 15-digit GST identification
number called “GSTIN” and a certificate of registration incorporating
therein this GSTIN is made available to the applicant on the GSTN
common portal. The first 2 digits of the GSTIN is the State code, next 10

who are required to get compulsory registration irrespective of their
turnover that is to say, the specified threshold exemption, as the case
may be, is not available to them. Some of such suppliers who need to
register compulsorily irrespective of the quantum of their turnover are:-

s well as the principal supplier who sends goods for job
work. The whole idea is to make principal responsible for
meeting compliances on behalf of the job-worker on the
goods processed by him (job-worker), considering the fact
that typically the job-workers are small persons who are
unable to comply with the discrete provisions of the law.
The GST Act makes special provisions with regard to removal
of goods for job-work and receiving back the goods after
processing from the job-worker without payment of GST.
The benefit of these provisions shall be available both to
the principal and the job-worker.
What is Job-work?
Section 2(68) of the CGST Act, 2017 defines Job-work
as 'any treatment or process undertaken by a person on
goods belonging to another registered person'. The one
who does the said job would be termed as 'job-worker'.
The ownership of the goods does not transfer to the job-
worker but it rests with the principal. The job-worker is
required to carry out t

one year and three
years may, on sufficient cause being shown, be extended
by the Commissioner for a further period not exceeding
one year and two years respectively.]
(d) After processing of goods, the job-worker may clear the
goods to-
•
.
another job-worker for further processing;
send the goods to any of the place of business of the
principal without payment of tax;
remove the goods on payment of tax within India or
without payment of tax for export outside India on
fulfilment of specified conditions.
The facility of supply of goods by principal to the third party
directly from the premises of the job-worker on payment of
tax in India likewise with or without payment of tax for export
may be availed by the principal on declaring premises of the
job-worker as his additional place of business in registration.
In case the job-worker is a registered person under GST, even
declaring the premises of the job-worker as additional place of
business is not require

= = = = = = = =

= = = = = = = =

nt
to the job-worker for the job work. Further, the proviso also
provides that the principal can take the credit even when the
goods have been directly supplied to the job-worker without
bringing into the premises of the principal. The principal
need not wait till the inputs are first brought to his place of
business for availing ITC.
Time Limits for return of processed goods:
As Section
per
19 of the CGST Act, 2017, inputs and capital
goods after processing shall be returned back to principal
within one year or three years respectively of their being sent
out. Further, the provision of return of goods is not applicable
in case of moulds and dies, jigs and fixtures or tools supplied
by the principal to job-worker.
Extended meaning of input:
As per the explanation provided in Section 143 of the
CGST Act, 2017, where certain process is carried out on the
inputs before removal of the same to the job-worker, such
product after carrying out the process to be referred as

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

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

To ensure transparency and minimise hardships to the
trade, the law provides that if during verification, in
transit, a consignment is held up beyond 30 minutes
the transporter can feed details on the portal. This
will ensure accountability and transparency for
all such verifications. Moreover, for verification
during movement of consignment will also be done
through digital interface and therefore the physical
intervention will be minimum and as has already been
mentioned that in case of a delay beyond 30 minutes
the transporter can feed the details on the portal.
