Mis-typed GSTIN in self-assessed returns is an apparent clerical error; allow rectification to avoid double taxation
Case-Laws
GST
The HC held that the mis-typed GSTIN in self-assessed returns constituted an error apparent on the face of the record amenable to rectification as a bona fide clerical/arithmetic mistake; because the erroneous deposit was received by the same recipient entity and there was no allegation of double recovery or unjust enrichment, denial of rectification would amount to double taxation. The court directed the GST authorities to permit the petitioner to amend/rectify the returns for the 2023-24 tax periods and to dispose of the petitioner's representation within eight weeks from notice, and accordingly dismissed the petition as disposed following compliance.
