Case-Laws
GST
The SC dismissed the Special Leave Petition challenging the applicability of the refund formula under Rule 89(5) of the CGST/SGST Rules, 2017 and related notifications. The Court upheld the validity of the formula for refund of unutilized input tax credit, rejecting claims of ambiguity or unworkability. It affirmed the High Court's view that although the formula may produce certain practical inequities, it aligns with legislative intent to grant limited refunds on accumulated ITC. The Court declined to interfere, holding that the GST Council's formula and related circulars are valid and their retrospective or prospective application does not warrant judicial intervention. Consequently, the petition was dismissed, confirming the existing legal framework for refund of unutilized ITC under the prescribed rules.
