GST Refund Claim Rejection Invalid: Authority Must Give Reasoned Order Under Section 39(9) for CESS Column Error
Case-Laws
GST
HC quashed deficiency memo dated 21.02.2024 regarding CESS refund claim for AY 2017-18. Petitioner claimed clerical error in placing SGST figures in CESS column. While authority has discretion on refund eligibility under Section 39(9) and 54(1) of Act 2017, rejection requires reasoned order uploaded to portal enabling appeal rights. Court directed authority to reconsider refund application dated 05.02.2024 after providing hearing opportunity, pass reasoned order, and upload promptly to relevant portal. Matter concerns procedural compliance rather than substantive refund determination. Authority must follow due process in handling correction requests within statutory timeframes.
