Concessional GST rate linked to input tax credit reversal; higher tax rate could not be applied merely for wrongful credit availment.
Case-Laws
GST
Concessional GST for freight and time charter services was subject to non-availment of input tax credit, but the Court held that wrongly availed credit did not justify denial of the concessional entry by applying the higher tax rate. Treating the notification as both a rate and exemption notification, the Court applied Chandrapur Magnet Wires and Unichem Laboratories and held that the proper course was reversal or payment of the inadmissible credit, with interest and penalty. The impugned order was quashed and the matter remitted for fresh determination of the actual credit wrongly availed and utilised, together with consequential interest and 100% penalty.
