Bank accounts automatically de-frozen after GST appeal filed under Section 107 stays enforcement order
Case-Laws
GST
The HC disposed of a petition challenging the freezing of petitioner's bank accounts. The petitioner's grievance concerned the freezing of two additional accounts opened under the same PAN number following communication dated 16 June 2024. The court held that since an appeal under Section 107 of the Central Goods and Services Tax Act 2017 had been filed against the impugned Order-in-Original, the final order dated 28 January 2025 was automatically stayed. Consequently, the HC directed Kotak Mahindra Bank to immediately de-freeze all three accounts and ordered the Department to communicate with the bank to lift the debit freeze. The petition was disposed of with relief granted to the petitioner.
