AAAR upholds ITC on wires, cables and electrical equipment deemed plant and machinery; rejects challenge under sections 17(5) and 18(6)
Case-Laws
GST
AAAR affirmed the appellate authority's determination and dismissed the departmental appeal, holding that input tax credit (ITC) on capital goods comprising wires, cables and electrical equipment used to connect the DISCOM power supply to the respondent's factory is admissible. The Authority found no legally tenable ground in the Revenue's challenge that such items are excluded as 'plant and machinery' under section 17(5) or that section 18(6) procedures were infringed; the Revenue's contention of subsequent transfer to the transmission utility was unsubstantiated. In light of Board clarifications treating analogous infrastructure items as eligible, the GAAR findings were upheld and the appeal by the Assistant Commissioner was rejected.
