Road restoration charges for commercial pipeline work attract reverse-charge GST; portal-only proceedings remain valid without a physical DIN.
Case-Laws
GST
Road restoration charges paid to the PWD for cutting and restoring roads for a commercial gas-pipeline project constitute consideration for a taxable service, not compensatory damages or a non-supply arising from a sovereign function. The planned, request-based arrangement created bilateral reciprocity, and GST was payable by the business recipient under reverse charge because no evidence showed tax payment by the PWD under forward charge; the refund rejection stood. Electronic GST notices and adjudication through an authenticated portal remain valid despite no physical DIN where the notice states the factual and legal basis and the recipient suffers no surprise or prejudice; the procedural objections failed.
