Anti-profiteering obligations apply to regulated Rail Neer transfer prices, requiring GST benefits to reach recipients despite price controls.
Case-Laws
GST
Section 171 requires suppliers of Rail Neer to pass GST rate-reduction benefits through commensurate reductions in transfer prices, even where maximum retail prices are railway-regulated and supplies are subsidised or complimentary. No exclusion applies to public-sector or governmental suppliers. Profiteering may be computed through a fair, case-specific comparison between pre-GST average base prices and post-GST transaction prices; no uniform formula or advance disclosure of the exact methodology is required where the supplier participated in the investigation. Investigation duration depends on circumstances rather than a one-year limit. Interest applies only prospectively from the interest provision's effective date, while penalty for continuing contraventions remains subject to statutory waiver upon timely deposit.
