Goods and Services Tax

Petition dismissed; petitioner directed to pursue statutory GST appeal after depositing 10% and limitation period excluded
Case-Laws
GST
HC dismissed the writ petition and relegated the petitioner to the statutory appellate remedy under the GST Act, holding that disputed claims of fraudulent input tax credit and counter-allegations involve contested questions of fact requiring document-centric fact-finding by the competent appellate authority rather than judicial resolution in a writ jurisdiction. Noting the petitioner deposited 10% of the disputed tax during proceedings, the HC directed that the appellate authority shall admit and decide the appeal without being inhibited by limitation, and that the period during which the writ was pending be excluded from limitation computation, thereby permitting the petitioner to prosecute the appeal on merits before the appellate forum.

Pre-arrest bail denied under Section 70 CGST for alleged fictitious firm, Rs 29.4 crore fraudulent ITC, risk of evidence tampering
Case-Laws
GST
The HC dismissed the petition and refused grant of pre-arrest bail in respect of summons issued by respondent No.3 under section 70 of the CGST Act, concluding that the petitioner faces specific and serious allegations of operating a fictitious firm, facilitating fraudulent input tax credit of approximately Rs. 29.4 crore, preparing false e-way bills, providing incorrect bank details and orchestrating inter-account fund rotation to evade revenue, and furnishing fictitious supplier details. The Court found the inquiry to be at a nascent stage, the petitioner non-cooperative, and a substantial revenue loss alleged; it held there is a real risk of misuse of pre-arrest bail enabling evasion of custodial interrogation, tampering with evidence or manipulation of records, warranting dismissal.

Bid rejected for failing to file latest GSTR-3B on time; delay deemed material deviation, challenge dismissed
Case-Laws
GST
The HC dismissed the writ petitions, holding that the petitioner's failure to submit the latest GSTR-3B within the prescribed period constituted a material deviation rendering the bid non-responsive. The Court found no cogent explanation for the delayed filing, concluded the omission substantially affected bid validity and was inconsistent with tender conditions, and declined to exercise judicial review in the absence of demonstrable mala fides or overriding public interest. The technical committee's declaration of non-responsiveness was upheld as neither perverse nor arbitrary, and the petitioners' challenge to the procurement process was rejected for lacking merit.

Appeal dismissed as time-barred for being 105 days late; Section 100(2) CGST Act's 30-day condonable period exceeded
Case-Laws
GST
AAAR dismissed the appeal as time-barred. The Appellant filed the appeal 105 days after the last permissible date under Section 100(2) CGST Act (including the maximum 30-day condonable period in the proviso), exceeding AAAR's jurisdiction to condone delay. AAAR found the reasons for delay insufficient and held it lacked authority to extend the statutory limitation further; consequently the appeal was not admitted and the merits regarding eligibility to claim input tax credit for design, engineering, installation and operation of the 10.2 MW solar plant were not adjudicated. The appeal is therefore dismissed for want of prosecution ratione temporis without consideration of substantive issues.

Dry lease of Bell 412 EP helicopter is taxable 'transfer of right to use' under HSN 9973; GST 5% Sl.17(iii)
Case-Laws
GST
AAR held that the dry lease of a Bell 412 EP helicopter by the applicant to the lessee constitutes a taxable “transfer of right to use” goods, meeting the BSNL test: delivery of the aircraft with engines, avionics, manuals and records, provision of airworthy condition and licences, and effective control passing to the lessee. The supply is classifiable under HSN 9973 (leasing/rental services without operator) and falls within Sl. No. 17(iii) of Notification No. 11/2017-CT(R). As the helicopter is employed for commercial, non-personal use by a non-scheduled air transport operator, the transaction attracts GST at 5% as prescribed under the applicable notification.

Particulate matter permits are tradable goods under HSN 4907 (4970 00 90); sales attract 12% GST and business income
Case-Laws
GST
The AAR held that particulate matter permits are tradable goods, not securities, and are classifiable under HSN Heading 4907 (residuary code 4970 00 90). Applying ejusdem generis, the Authority rejected treating PM-permits as akin to bonds, stocks or debentures. The permits confer transferable economic benefits, have market value, are auctioned on the designated trading platform and may be sold for profit; accordingly proceeds constitute business income and sales are in the course or furtherance of business. Restrictions on transferability or expiry do not alter their character as goods. The applicable GST rate on trading of PM-permits is 12%.

New Delhi, Delhi, India (NewsVoir) Alongside World Food India 2025, organized by the Ministry of Food Processing Industries (MoFPI), Rodl & Partner released a landmark paper outlining strategic pathways to strengthen India’s fast-growing pet food sector. MoFPI and EY also co-hosted a special session on “India’s Pet Food Industry: Scaling for Domestic & Global Growth” at Bharat Mandapam, Pragati Maidan.
The paper highlighted that IndiaÂ’s pet food market is expanding rapidly with the countryÂ’s pet population at an estimated 42.2 million in 2024, projected to surpass 100 million by 2035. In revenue terms, the industry was valued at USD 720 million in 2024 and is expected to reach USD 2 billion by 2035. While dog food accounts for over 85% of the market, cat food is the fastest-growing segment, and e-commerce has become a key

Salil Murthy, Managing Director, Mars Petcare India said, “India is home to over 35 million pets today, a number set to double within the next five to seven years. Yet, penetration of manufactured pet food remains below 10% in Indian households, compared to near-universal adoption in developed markets. Unlocking the true potential of India’s pet food sector requires three structural shifts: First, a responsible and science-aligned regulatory framework to build consumer trust and ensure transparency.

When policies treat pet nutrition as essential rather than optional, India will be able to close the nutrition gap and align with global best practices.” On the Day 1 of the WFI event, Ministry of Food Processing Industries highlighted the pet food sector's strategic alignment with the Make in India initiative. At the CEO roundtable, the Ministry called for a harmonized, science-backed regulatory framework that would secure nutrition and consumer trust.

Bengal’s 2025 Durga Puja economy rebounds by 10-15 pc to Rs 46,000–50,000 cr
GST
Dated:- 30-9-2025
PTI
Kolkata, Sep 30 (PTI) West Bengal’s Durga Puja economy in 2025 rebounded strongly, expanding by an estimated 10–15 per cent to touch around Rs 46,000–50,000 crore after a decline last year, stakeholders said.
Buoyant corporate sponsorships, healthy footfalls in malls, rising spending on consumer goods and a positive sentiment among people are major contributors to the growth, they said.
The festival – recognised by UNESCO as an intangible cultural heritage- remains a major economic driver for Bengal, thriving retail, hospitality, transport and handicraft sectors, and it is often believed that business activities surrounding the Durga Puja contribute at least a third of the stateÂ’s GDP.
State Finance Minister Chandrima Bhattacharya told PTI that BengalÂ’s Puja economy will definitely “see strong growth this year”.
“This year, the puja economy will definitely witness stro

as “very good,” with major clubs raising rates.
“The average hike was around 15 per cent. Several big puja committees also raised their rates, but they are more cautious on budgets than last year,” he said.
This year, analysts and industry insiders estimated that the “overall puja market would be at Rs 46,000–50,000 crore, marking a turnaround with corporate houses returning to offer sponsorships, malls posting healthy footfalls and discretionary spending on consumer goods rising sharply”.
In 2024, Bengal’s Puja economy was estimated at around Rs 42,000 crore, contracting by 20–30 per cent due to inflation, muted corporate spending and weak sentiment.
The rape and murder of a doctor at RG Kar hospital and widespread agitations cast a shadow on the festive spirit last year, and businesses were adversely impacted.
Notably, a 2019 British Council report had pegged the Puja-linked creative industries in Bengal at Rs 32,377 crore.
This year, however, organised retailers reported a dou

r cent year-on-year—a four to five-fold jump in growth compared with last year’s muted start.
Premium smartphones and TVs led the surge, with loyalty members driving record demand, it said.
But beneath the buoyant figures lies a sharp divide—while organised retail, automobiles and corporate advertising thrived, hawkers and small traders said the season was subdued due to a shift in spending towards e-commerce platforms.
The National Hawkers Federation said the season was “very bad,” similar to the downturn during the Covid crisis.
“Online businesses have eaten 40 per cent of hawkers’ income. Even small shopkeepers have suffered badly. A single day of rain in Kolkata ahead of Durga puja made it worse,” federation president Saktiman Ghosh told PTI.
The city faced unprecedented rain in a single day, which caused a fall in revenue for small businesses.
Despite the overall rise in consumer demand, hawkers and small traders said most of the spending shifted to malls and e-commerce plat

The HC set aside the impugned order dated 31 January 2025 and allowed the petition by way of remand. The court addressed an appeal concerning invocation of the extended period of limitation and prior reversal of input tax credit appropriation, noting the Revenue's failure to produce documentary proof of foreign exchange realization such as BRCs or FIRCs. The HC held that FIRCs need not correspond transaction-by-transaction and may be maintained on a periodic basis, provided the aggregate foreign exchange remitted fully substantiates the claimed benefit. The matter is remitted for fresh consideration in accordance with this principle and applicable law, with liberty to both parties to lead relevant evidence.

Writ dismissed as adjudication order became final under Section 107 CGST; delay unexplained, alleged fraudulent ITC claim upheld
Case-Laws
GST
The HC dismissed the writ petition, holding the impugned adjudicatory order dated 27 January 2025 has become final due to the lapse of the statutory appeal period under Section 107 CGST; no sufficient explanation justified the delay in prosecuting the appeal. The court found no gross breach of natural justice: the Adjudicating Authority considered the petitioner's filed reply and documents, and acknowledgements evidenced filing though not incontrovertible proof of attendance. On the merits, the HC concluded the petitioner colluded with a third-party supplier to fraudulently avail ineligible ITC, failed to rebut the show-cause allegations or identify the supplier, and did not cooperate in proceedings. No exceptional circumstances warranted condonation of delay or exercise of writ jurisdiction.

The appellate order had dismissed the Appeal for non-compliance with the mandatory 10% pre-deposit requirement based on an alleged shortfall (required ~Rs.12,76,000; deposited Rs.8.62 lakhs) without prior notice or an opportunity to remedy the deficit, thereby infringing principles of natural justice. Although the Petitioner received a hearing on the merits, the authority failed to notify the Petitioner of the procedural shortfall or afford a reasonable chance to make good the deposit. The matter is remitted to the Appellate Authority for fresh consideration after giving the Petitioner notice and an opportunity to cure any shortfall.

PTI
Chandigarh, Sep 29 (PTI) Punjab incurred a loss of Rs 1.11 lakh crore in the past eight years following the implementation of Goods and Services Tax (GST), Finance Minister Harpal Singh Cheema said on Monday.
Cheema was speaking in the House on the concluding day of the state Assembly session on the Punjab Goods and Services Tax (Amendment) Bill, 2025.
Highlighting the adverse impact on Punjab, Cheema said the state's pre-GST revenue neutral rate was 18.3 per cent, significantly higher than the country's average rate of 14 per cent.

Cheema accused the BJP-led Centre of “systematically undermining” the Constitution, citing policies like 'One Nation One Tax' and 'One Nation One Election' as “destructive” to the federal structure.
He also addressed concerns raised by Leader of the Opposition Pratap Singh Bajwa regarding the GST system, referring to an article by former Union Finance Minister P Chidambaram.
Cheema recalled that the proposal for GST was originally brought forward by Chidambaram himself in 2006, but was not implemented by the then UPA government due to opposition.
He said the BJP-led NDA government later advanced the concept on the principle of 'One-Nation One-Tax,' which the then Punjab Finance Minister, Manpreet Singh Badal, had agreed to

PM Modi slams ‘bayan bahadur’ Oppn, says household savings rose under BJP’s good governance

New Delhi, Sep 29 (PTI) Dismissing the Opposition’s criticism of his government’s GST measures as lies of “bayan bahadur”, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Monday that the BJP-NDA ushered in a “new model of good governance” and a family will now save nearly Rs 20,000 on its annual household expenditure of Rs 1 lakh compared to the UPA period.
Speaking at the inauguration of Delhi BJP headquarters here, Modi asked party workers to ensure that the benefits of next-generation GST reforms reach people, especially in opposition-ruled states, asserting that the decision, along with the rise in Income Tax exemption, will save citizens Rs 2.5 lakh crore every year.
He accused the Congress government in Himachal Pradesh of indulging in “loot” by hiking the levy on cement soon after GST relief brought its price down, as he hit back at the Opposition for the cr

Asking BJP workers to reach out to customers as well as traders for promoting swadeshi, Modi appealed for reducing the countryÂ’s dependence on foreign goods.
“The less our dependence on foreign products is, the better it will be,” he said, reiterating a point the prime minister has been especially vocal about since the US imposed a high tariff of 50 per cent on Indian goods.
“We have to adopt swadeshi to make India self-reliant,” he said, calling for making it a movement across the country.
The BJP is in government not for “satta” (power) but 'seva' (service), and its offices keep alive this sentiment, Modi said after inaugurating the office and asked party members to ensure that the new building is a place where peopleÂ’s grievances are heard and addressed.

Petition seeking early interference rejected; Section 67 search and seizure upheld where officer had reasons to believe
Case-Laws
GST
The HC dismissed the petition challenging CGST officials' search and seizure at premises linked to the Gumber family, holding petitioners sought premature judicial intervention during investigation. The court found the proper officer had “reasons to believe” justifying inspection, search and seizure under Section 67 of the Act, and that entry was not unlawfully obtained where a tenant provided access. Allegations of privacy breach by seizure of CCTV footage were noted but did not vitiate the exercise of power. The HC emphasised statutory safeguards (including requirement to record reasons and inventory, and return if no SCN within prescribed period) and left other constitutional and statutory remedies open to the petitioners.
