I am a 1st year student of Manipal University Jaipur. We received a mail from finance department saying we have to pay INR 5,492 as mess fee dues. The mail didnt have any details mentioning the reason. On replying and asking they said it is GST.
We had paid the Hostel Fee+Mess fee summing to INR 1,80,000 in June 2017.
The Mess fee of INR 53,500(including VAT) was paid in June 2017 for the time of Aug 2017- May 2018. According to what I have searched online, GST cant be applicable on an amount if fee has been paid before GST Launch. The date on the receipt is 20-Jun-2017.

se duty was leviable on excisable goods on the value which was inclusive of VST/ Sale Tax. W.e.f. 1.7.17 VAT was subsumed in GST. Now there is no double taxation in GST. To collect GST prior to 1.7.17 is unconstitutional and hence illegal.

Sir, I agree with the views expressed by Sh. Kasturiji, In this regards, please refer Section 142 (11)(a) & (b). Therefore, if the VAT has already been paid before appointed day, GST is not applicable.

Paying of an appropriate tax is the essence of GST. GST being an Indirect Taxation would be charged and collected by you from your customer, you have nothing to pay from your pocket. You must be availing ITC on Inputs/Input Services also. If on your output you pay less tax and avail the ITC on higher side then it may trigger the inflated tax structure.
To cope with such situation which may attract unwarranted attention of Revenue Department, it is advisable to pay the tax appropriately as applicable as consequences of evading GST are very serious.

ervice would only be covered by the taxable service of Technical Inspection and Certification Service. The appellant is not a Technical and Certification Agency and therefore the service does not fall under the said category. The appellant had contested the show cause notice stating that if at all the activity would fall only under Scientific or Technical Consultancy service. She argued that the demand has been confirmed by both the authorities merely on the ground that the appellant had initially paid the service tax under Technical Inspection and Certification Service. The appellant being a manufacturer of P&P medicaments is not a Technical and Certification Agency and therefore the demand under the said category is without any legal basis.
3. The ld. AR Shri S. Govindarajan reiterated the findings in the impugned order. He adverted to the discussions made by the Commissioner (Appeals) and submitted that the appellant have been paying service tax for a prolonged period of two years

ORDER
Heard Sri Ramesh Singh, learned counsel for petitioner, Sri C.K. Parekh, learned counsel appearing for respondent no. 2-Nagar Nigam, Saharanpur and learned Standing Counsel for respondent nos. 1, 3 and 4.
The petitioner who has entered into a contract upon an auction for realisation of ground rent from a Fair commencing from 31st August, 2017 for a month, has assailed the recovery certificate issued to him for deposit of Goods and Service Tax (hereinafter referred to as “G.S.T.”) from the petitioner in terms of U.P. Goods and Service Tax Act, 2017 (hereinafter referred to as “the Act, 2017”). Recovery is bein

le from the contractor and he has referred to the standard form of agreement also mentioned in the advertisement where clause 4 thereof recites the liability of the contractor to make the payment under the Act, 2017. He therefore, submits that the tax payable is over and above the amount of consideration under the contract and hence, recovery has been rightly issued against the petitioner.
The contention therefore is that even assuming that the Nagar Nigam ought to have deducted the said amount, but the fact in this case is that the entire security amount which has been deposited by the petitioner in terms of the contract has been adjusted towards the amount of consideration under the contract as a result whereof payment of G.S.T. remains over due.
Sri Parekh has also informed the Court that as on date after making adjustment from the amount already due to the petitioner, it is only the G.S.T. to the tune of Rs. 3,24,000/- which is now to be realised from the petitioner. In essence,

refer to the provisions that are applicable to the controversy under the Act, 2017 for recovery of tax. Such taxes are now chargeable in relation to the service rendered in view of the Constitutional mandate under Article 366 of the Constitution of India read with sub Article 12A read with Article 26A.
The Act, 2017 defines the word “local authority” under Section 2(69) of Act, 2017 which includes Municipal Corporations constituted in terms of Article 243 (P) of the Constitution of India. The respondent Nagar Nigam is an authority so constituted. Section 2(91) defines 'Proper Officer' who is the Commissioner of the Taxing Department or an officer nominated by him to discharge such functions. Section 7(1a) and Section 7(2b) of Act, 2017 defines the scope of supply under Chapter III of Levy and Collection of Taxes. There is no dispute that the transaction between the petitioner and the respondent Nagar Nigam falls within the scope of such 'supply'.
The only dispute is t

isions of that sub-section.
It is therefore, undisputed that there is a provision of recovery, provided there is an agreement between the parties. In the present case also there is no dispute that such an agreement exists.
Sri Parekh has then invited attention of the Court to Rule 143 of Chapter 18 of U.P. Goods and Services Tax Rules, 2017 (hereinafter referred to as “the Rules, 2017”) which indicates the manner in which the deductions by the “Specified Officer” have to be made and according to said definition it would include the Officer of a “Local Authority”. The aforesaid Rules therefore obligates the Specified Officer of the Nagar Nigam to make such deductions.
The aforesaid scheme as indicated above thus, obligates the Specified Officer to make deductions and in the event of default the Proper Officer of the Taxing Department can proceed to issue certificate on the strength whereof the Collector can issue a recovery citation for realisation of the tax due as arrears of land r

Counsel for Petitioner:- Amit Mahajan
Counsel for Respondent:- C.S.C.
(Per: Hon'ble Ashok Kumar, J.)
We have heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and Sri C.B. Tripathi, learned Special Counsel for the State.
Brief facts of the case are that the petitioner is a private limited company and is engaged in manufacture and supply as well as export of industrial SS Tube, fittings and pipe fittings etc. The petitioner is registered under the provision of GST. The petitioner's office is situated at Industrial Area Sahibabad, District Ghaziabad. An order has been received by the petitioner from one M/s Kansara Laljibhai Mohanlal, 7, Parsana Society, R.K.

ing the goods, the vehicle proceeded at about 8.33 P.M. on 07.04.2018 and the vehicle has procured a Kata Purchi and movement at about 9.20 P.M. from Sahibabad towards its destination namely Rajkot, Gujarat. During the course of transportation from Sahibabad i.e. from the factory of the petitioner upto the transporter, the vehicle has been intercepted at Mohan Nagar, Ghaziabad on 08.04.2018 by the respondent no.2, the Assistant Commissioner (in-charge), Commercial Tax, Mobile Squad, Unit-III, Ghaziabad at 12.15 A.M. and respondent no.2 issued interception memo which was drawn by the respondent no.2 under Section 129(1) of the UPGST Act, 2017 (hereinafter referred as 'the Act'). The respondent no.2 was of the opinion that the goods, namely Stainless Steel welded pipes which were found loaded on the vehicle during intra-state transportation, were accompanied with e-way bill having Unique Code, however, Part-B of the said e-way bill was not filled up and no vehicle number has been

the consignor and consignee are registered dealers and IGST @ 18% has been charged by the petitioner and that petitioner is registered bonafide dealer, therefore, objection with regard to non filling Part-B of e-way bill is nothing but clearly an abuse of process of law.
The contention of the petitioner before the authority below was that there was no intention on the part of the petitioner to evade payment of tax during the course of intra-state sale of the goods. The contention of the petitioner before the authority below as well as before this Court is that, in fact, the goods loaded in vehicle No. U.P. 16-AT 5489 was only for the purpose of transporting the goods from petitioner factory up to transport company, and as such, the petitioner at the time of generation of national e-way bill could not fill the vehicle number in Part-B due to the fact and for the reason that after unloading of the goods at the transport company the same were to be loaded in another vehicle which was su

art A of FORM GST EWB-01:
Provided that the registered person or, the transporter may, at his option, generated and carry the e-way bill even if the value of the consignment is less than fifty thousand rupees.
Provided further that where the movement is caused by an unregistered person either in his own conveyance or a hired one or through a transporter, he or the transporter may, at their option, generate the e-way bill in FORM GST EWB-01 on the common portal in the manner specified in this rule:
Provided also that where the goods are transported for a distance of upto fifty kilometres within the State or Union Territory from the place of business of the consignor to the place of business of the transporter for further transportation, the supplier or the recipient, or as the case may be, the transporter may not furnish the details of conveyance in Part B of FORM GST EWB-01.

fore, the petitioner has not committed any error of law at the time of downloading e-way bill.
On the other hand, learned counsel for the respondent, though has supported the order of seizure but, has admitted that all the requisite documents were accompanied the goods when the vehicle has been intercepted and seizure order has been passed, but the Part-B of the e-way bill was found unfilled. He has also accepted that prima facie there appears no intention to evade payment of tax for the reason that in the invoice the petitioner has charged IGST @ 18%.
We have heard the learned counsel for the respective parties and perused the documents which are enclosed along with the writ petition.
We are in full agreement with the submission of learned counsel for the petitioner and after perusal of the relevant documents, we find no ill intention at the hands of the petitioner nor the petitioner was supposed to fill up Part-B giving all the details including the vehicle number before the goods

1. This case raises an important question on the scope of exercise of power by a State invoking its police power as well as tax regime to interfere with the sale of other State lotteries.
2. The State of Kerala is not a lottery free zone, means to say that, there is no prohibition of sale of lottery. The first petitioner is a distributor of lottery, organised and conducted by the Government of

in terms of Section 4 of the Lotteries (Regulation) Act, 1998 read with Rule 3(3) of the Lotteries (Regulation) Rules, 2010 on the launch of their Lottery Scheme. Ext.P10 is the said notification. In the said notification, it was mentioned that, first draw would commence on 7.8.2017 at 3 pm onwards. Based on such notification, the State of Mizoram decided to market and sell Mizoram State Lotteries in the State of Kerala. Prior intimation was also given to the Chief Secretary of Kerala by communication dated 21.7.2017. Ext.P11 is the said communication. According to the petitioners, this intimation was given in compliance of Rule 3(3) of the Lotteries (Regulation) Rules. It is stated in the writ petition that the said communication also included all the information required under the law by giving details such as names of selling agents/distributor, name of the Lottery Scheme, number of tickets printed, gross value of tickets etc.
However, this notification was superseded by another n

Regulation) Rules, the organizing State shall in advance, by a notification, provide information of every lottery conducted by them. In case, the organizing State decides to organise more than one lottery, the procedure as provided under sub-rule 3 of Rule 3 will have to be followed for every such lottery. [See Rule 3(4)].
6. Under Section 4(h) of the Lotteries (Regulation) Act no lottery shall have more than one draw in a week. The Mizoram lottery introduced in the State of Kerala consists of different lotteries having draw from Monday to Sunday. That means, different sets of lotteries are organised for sale each day.  
7. On 28/7/2017, the petitioners were served with a notice (Ext.P26) issued by the Deputy Commissioner of State Goods & Services Tax Department, Kerala, directing the petitioners to do the following, within 24 hours of receipt of notice:
“1.You are required to prove that the lottery to be held is in compliance of Section 3 4 of the Lotteries (Regulation) Act, 1

ent, the Deputy Commissioner appears to have moved against the petitioners based on the Rules to come to a conclusion that the lottery tickets stocked for sale were in violation of the Lotteries (Regulation) Act. The petitioners assailed the validity of such Rules under the Kerala State Goods and Services Tax Act along with other prayers in the writ petition. The petitioners also challenged notice issued by the Deputy Commissioner directing them to comply with the matters mentioned therein. This notice is Ext.P26. The dispute in this writ petition essentially rests on the validity of the rules and the power exercised by the Deputy Commissioner of Tax Department relatable to the Rules.
9. Apart from the challenge as above, the petitioners also have raised a contention that the officials under the Kerala State GST Act are not entitled to invoke the provisions of the Kerala State GST Act against the petitioners for sale of lotteries as the sale of lotteries is governed by Integrated Good

tention that the lottery scheme notified by the State of Mizoram and the sale of tickets in the State of Kerala would attract penal provisions of the Lotteries (Regulation) Act. The Government also suspect unauthorised tickets being sold without knowledge of the Mizoram State. It is pointed out Nos.80 lakhs of lottery tickets are printed for each draw and it is impossible to match the revenue generated from sale with the price offered. The State made an attempt to demonstrate that the revenue for sale has no match with gross price money. It is further pointed out that even by rough estimate it would go to show that the sale cannot be conducted without huge loss being suffered by the Mizoram State. It is also pointed out that supply of lottery was done by an officer of the Mizoram Government in the State of Kerala and supply was within Kerala and therefore, the transaction is intra-State Supply coming under the purview of Section 8 of IGST Act. It was further submitted that since the pe

the organizing State for sale;
(d) The tickets issued for sale;

(i) proof of payment of sale proceeds of the lottery to the organizing State or deposit in the Public Ledger Account of the organizing State in case the licensee is a distributor of selling agent; and the same shall be produced for verification by any authority under this Ordinance.”
13. Rule 56(20A) reads as follows:
“Rule 56(2OA): Every agent or distributor selling lottery tickets or a selling agent of lotteries authorised by the State and who is registered under the Ordinance, shall file the information return in Annexure before the Deputy Commissioner of S

(b) The physical verification of the details submitted in Annexure shall be done by the Deputy Commissioner of State Tax, Thiruvananthapuram, Deputy Commissioner of State Tax, Ernakulam or Deputy Commissioner of State Tax, Palakkad, as the case may be, during the actual retail sale of tickets;

ion on the right of the petitioners to carryout legitimate business in lottery of the State of Mizoram in the context of Ext.P26 issued by the Deputy Commissioner of State GST Department, Kerala. Though various arguments have been raised as to the power of the State Officials to proceed against the petitioners under the Kerala State GST Act, this Court cannot decide such issues without the same being considered by a primary authority which issued such notices. Merely because this court was addressed and called upon to decide certain issues, which primarily need to be considered by a primary authority, as the court's jurisdiction on such matters can be exercised only by judicial review, the court must resist from pre-empting the primary authority deciding the matter after hearing the petitioners. Therefore, the question whether the petitioners' activities would fall within the IGST regime or Kerala State GST regime will have to be addressed by the primary authority after hearing

ion to challenge the actions of the respondents. The petitioners have challenged vires of certain provisions in the context of Ext.P26. Therefore, in such circumstances it is appropriate to proceed further after adverting to the cause of action of the petitioners to approach this Court:
18. Point i. Whether cause of action is alive or not.
According to the learned Senior Counsel appearing for the Government, the petitioners' main challenge is against a notice issued under the Kerala State GST dated 28.7.2017 and consideration of Ext.P26 would arise only if Mizoram Government had an intention to conduct sale of lottery in the State. The learned Senior Counsel particularly referred to the Ext.R11(g) produced along with the counter affidavit filed on behalf of the State of Mizoram and submits that the lottery introduced in the State was withdrawn with immediate effect. It is pointed out that this notification was published through Gazette. The learned Senior Counsel further pointed

= = = = = = = =

Plain text (Extract) only

f lottery in the State will not hold good. If the Government is having the power to withdraw the notification, it also has the power to cancel such decision. That power is traceable under Section 21 of the General Clauses Act, 1897. Further, it is also open for the Mizoram Government to issue a fresh notification, if so warranted. Considering the stand of the Mizoram Government that they want to sell the lottery tickets in Kerala, the question on the cause of action also has to be considered based on Ext.P26 as well. That question is whether Ext.P26 poses any threat to the petitioners from selling the ticket in the State or not. According to this Court, an examination of the matter is required in the light of threatened action against the petitioners as referred under Ext.P26. It may be appropriate to mention that, in the notice itself the petitioners were directed not to proceed further until compliance with statutory provisions. Therefore, this Court need to examine whether the petit

ential legislative power etc. The practical difficulty therefore, is a matter of explanation before the authority to whom such compliance is required to be reported. Therefore, challenge on this ground must fail.  
23. Point iii. Whether the Government is justified using police power to interfere with the lottery business in the State through the officials under the Tax Department.
The petitioners challenge Rule 56(20A)(d) of the Kerala State GST Rules. The petitioners' case is that Lotteries (Regulation) Act is a self contained Act and the Parliament alone is competent to legislate in respect of the offences for violation of Lotteries (Regulation) Act.
The police power referred under Section 7 of Lotteries (Regulation) Act therefore, can be exercised only in accordance with the provisions under the Lotteries (Regulation) Act and the State has no power to legislate on such subject on which the Parliament alone has the power to legislate. It is pointed out that self assumed

nd Concurrent List subject to constitutional limitation. Therefore, the State would have the power depend upon the competency to legislate on the subject. Since lottery subject falls exclusively in the domain of the Parliament, the State cannot confer such power on any authority under the Kerala State GST to enter a satisfaction as to the violations of the Lotteries (Regulation) Act. Therefore, the above rule has to be struck down.
25. Lotteries (Regulation) Act deals with the manner in which violation of lottery will have to be dealt with. Section 8 of the Lotteries (Regulation) Act states that the offences under the said Act shall be cognizable and non bailable. Therefore, the police will have to enter a satisfaction as to the violation before proceeding against the offenders. The police cannot act merely based on the information given by the Tax officials. The police power in relation to the violation of the provisions of Lotteries Regulation can be exercised only in accordance wit

itioners challenge Ext.P26, particularly referring to the stipulations mentioned therein for compliance of certain statutory provisions. The Court has to decide what is the scope of public law remedy in the context of challenge made by the petitioners. It is apparent that the petitioners apprehend the registration granted to them under the Kerala State GST Act will be cancelled, if the petitioners fail to comply with such demand as made in Ext.P6. It is particularly to be noted that the petitioners were prevented from proceeding further until compliance as demanded in Ext.P26 is ensured. In regard to the first direction that the petitioners should prove that lottery to be held is in compliance with Section 3 & 4 of the Lotteries (Regulation) Act is beyond the authority of the Deputy Commissioner. The State is apparently making such demand based on its past experience with the State of Sikkim Lottery. The State highlighted that Sikkim Lottery showed the sale of 96 crores in a year as ag

State GST Rules, 2017.
27. The point to be considered is whether the petitioners are required to comply with other directions in Ext.P26 for proceeding with the business in lottery. The Rules are not intended to regulate the activities of lottery and it cannot also be so. The Rules cannot be interpreted in such a way to regulate the sale of lottery. If the Rules accorded interpretation to regulate lottery, certainly, it will amount to encroachment of the power of the Parliament to legislate. The Rules thus, can be interpreted only in such a way to sub serve its object under the GST Act and Rules. It is nothing but determination and collection of tax. Chapter VIII of Kerala State GST Act refers to maintenance of accounts and other records. Chapter IX refers to returns. The very purpose of these provisions is to ensure a complete assessment, as required under Chapter XII.
The powers conferred upon the officials under Chapter XIV for inspection, search, seizure and arrest is to detect

stribution of face value for price and commission, tax administration expenses etc.
28. Chapter VII of the Kerala State GST Rules only refers about maintenance of accounts by registered persons. The very object of such records is to complete assessment. The petitioners can highlight practical difficulties in keeping such records. For example, the petitioners highlight their grievances in relation to sub rule 19(g) & (i) to Rule 56. The petitioners gave explanation as follows in regard to their inability to maintain records for such requirement:
(g) details of the prize winning tickets along with the amount of prize or prizes in respect of each draw, name and address of winners;
These details would be maintained by the organizing state as the claims upto Rs. 10000 are lodged by the winners directly with the state and the final count of all the prizes would be available only with the organizing state. So also, the details of the name and address of the winners over Rs. 10000 are only

h the distributor.
29. It is to be noted that under Rule 3(16) of Lotteries (Regulation) Rules, the Organizing State shall keep the records of the tickets printed, tickets issued for sale, tickets sold, tickets which remain unsold at the time of the draw, and the prize winning tickets along with the amount of prize or prizes in respect of each draw, in the manner prescribed by the Organizing State. It is also the duty of the Organizing State to ensure that the proceeds of the sale of lottery tickets, as received from the distributors or selling agents or any other source, are deposited in the Public Ledger Account or in the Consolidated Fund of the Organizing State. [See Rule 3(17)].  
30. In regard to Rule 56(20A) of the Kerala State GST Rules, the petitioners also explained the manner in which the provisions can be complied. This Court, in fact, has already taken a view that 56(20A)(iii)(d) is beyond the rule making power of the Government under Kerala State GST regime. The pe

ners' activities have come to a halt consequent upon Ext.P26. The State also insisted that the petitioners need to maintain such records for carrying out the activities of sale of lotteries. In those circumstances, this Court has to decide the scope of interference for non compliance of maintaining records. Non compliance would not amount to contravention unless there is breach. Every non compliance is not a breach.   There must be a breach that is to say, violation of legal obligation. If rules itself are determinative of such violation, no doubt an action can be initiated on noting such violation. If such Rules postulate an enquiry, no action can be initiated without holding an enquiry. In such cases, breach would come into existence only after the enquiry. The petitioners have explained reasons for their inability to maintain such records. These Rules in fact, are Rules for completing assessments if the petitioners are having valid reasons for not maintaining the records, t

ssion has no nexus to the levy of tax to be collected from the petitioners.  
32. As already adverted, compliance and non compliance of the Rules in the context have been considered when the petitioners are prevented from engaging in activities. The very object of such Rules is for proper assessment. Violation of Rules would depend upon satisfaction to be arrived in enquiry as to the compliance and non compliance. Rules adverted as above cannot be insisted as a pre condition to sell lottery tickets in the State. Therefore, compliance and non compliance would depend upon outcome of such enquiry. Rules as above are itself not determinative of violation. Such violation can be found out only after enquiry. Therefore, this Court is of the view that the petitioners should not be prevented from the sale of lottery for non compliance of Rules 56(19) and 56(20A) of the Kerala State GST Rules, in respect of which they have explained their practical difficulty in complying the same.

During the course of movement of these goods through the State of U.P. the consignment was intercepted at Lucknow on 17.12.2017 and the goods as well as documents were checked, whereupon, a T.D.F.

Rules 2017'), but, no notification had been issued by the Central Government under the said rule specifying the documents that a person in charge of a conveyance carrying any consignment of goods shall carry while the goods are in movement or in transit storage, therefore, the rule was practicallty inoperative and there was no requirement of carrying any such document on the relevant date i.e. 17.12.2017. The invoice and other documents which were being carried were sufficient for the purpose of transportation, especially as, they revealed that it was an inter-State supply of goods and the I.G.S.T. at the rate of 28% had already been paid.

ts being applicable and there being a notification dated 21.7.2017 under Rule 138 of the U.P.G.S.T. Act 2017 prescribing a T.D.F. Form in case of transportation of taxable goods valuing Rs. 5000.00 or more from a place outside Uttar Pradesh to a place outside the State i.e. in the event of inter-State trade and the same not having been complied, action of seizure and imposition of penalty under section 129 of U.P.G.S.T. Act 2017 was clearly in accordance with law and did not suffer from any error and it did not warrant any interference by this Court.
A process for initiation of a new indirect taxation regime was put into motion by the Constitution (101st Amendment) Act 2016 dated 8.9.2016 by which Articles 246-A, 269-A, 279-A and other provisions of the Constitution were amended. As per the amended Article 269-A, which pertains to levy and collection of Goods and Services Tax in the course of inter-state trade or commerce such tax shall be levied and collected by the Government of Ind

.G.S.T. Act 2017 applies, whereas, in matters of intra-State trade and commerce the ''C.G.S.T. Act 2017' and the State Goods and Services Tax Acts, which in this case is ''U.P.G.S.T. Act 2017', apply.
Section 3 of the I.G.S.T. Act 2017 provides that the Board may appoint such Central Tax Officers as it thinks fit for exercising powers under this Act. There is no dispute about the fact that by virtue of section 4 of the I.G.S.T. Act 2017 the officers appointed under the State Goods and Services Tax Act or the Union Territory Goods and Services Tax Act are authorized to be the proper officers for the purposes of the said Act, subject to such exceptions and conditions as the Government shall, on the recommendations of the Council by notification, specify. Similarly for enforcement of C.G.S.T. Act 2017 by virtue of section 6 thereof State Authorities under U.P.G.S.T. Act 2017 are also empowered to enforce C.G.S.T. Act 2017.
It is also not in dispute that by virtue

(1) is intercepted by the proper officer at any place, he may require the person in charge of the said conveyance to produce the documents prescribed under the said sub-section and devices for verification, and the said person shall be liable to produce the documents and devices and also allow the inspection of goods.”
As would be evident from its reading, the documents which the Government may require the person in charge of a conveyance carrying any consignment of goods of value exceeding such amount as may be specified, are such, as may be prescribed. Now this prescription has been made under Rule 138 of the C.G.S.T. Rules 2017 which reads as under:
“138. E-way rule
Till such time as an E-way bill system is developed and approved by the Council, the Government may, by notification, specify the documents that the person in charge of a conveyance carrying any consignment of goods shall carry while the goods are in movement or in transit storage.”

nt as is referred in section 68 of the C.G.S.T. Act 2017 and Rule 138 of the C.G.S.T. Rules 2017. In fact, Dr. Deepti Tripathi, learned counsel for the Government of India made a categorical statement on the basis of instructions that T.D.F. Form was not required to be carried for movement of inter-State goods to which the I.G.S.T. Act 2017 applies. In fact, as per Dr. Deepti Tripathi, learned Advocate appearing for the Government of India, C.G.S.T. Rules 2017 were amended on 30th August 2017 and vide another notification dated 29.12.2017 this amendment containing the E-way Bill system was to come into force from 1.2.2018, but, the notification dated 29th December 2017 was rescinded by a subsequent notification dated 2.2.2018. Thereafter the notification dated 7th March 2018 has been issued regarding E-way Bill System.
Thus, E-way bill system has been prescribed only recently by a notification of the Government of India dated 7th March 2018 whereby Rule 138 of the C.G.S.T. Rules 2017

ter-State movements of goods, but, in our view it is only the Government of India which is empowered to issue such a notification in respect of inter-State trade under section 20(xv) of the I.G.S.T. Act 2017 read with section 68 of the C.G.S.T. Act 2017 and Rule 138 of the C.G.S.T. Rules 2017 made thereunder, as, the term ''Government' used in Rule 138 is defined in section 2(53) of the C.G.S.T. Act 2017 to mean the ''Central Government', just as, under section 2(9) of the I.G.S.T. Act 2017 ''Government' means '' the Central Government'. Moreover, with respect to Goods and Service Tax in relation to inter-State Trade the Parliament alone has the authority to legislate as would be evident from the 101st Amendment to the Constitution.
In this view of the matter we are of the considered view that on the relevant date i.e. 17.12.2017 there was no requirement of carrying T.D.F. Form-1 in the case of an inter-State supply of goods. In fact on

ly the Central Government has the power under section 20(xv) of I.G.S.T. Act 2017 read with section 68 of C.G.S.T. Act 2017 and Rule 138 of C.G.S.T. Rules 2017.
The fact that the authorities under the State Act were empowered to exercise the powers under the C.G.S.T. Act 2017, assuming it to be so, is inconsequential, as, it is not their jurisdiction to exercise power of seizure which is under question, but, the manner in which they have exercised it on the basis of an inapplicable provision of law, as, they have proceeded on the presumption that T.D.F. Form-1 prescribed under a notification issued by the State Government under Rule 138 of the Rules made under the U.P.G.S.T. Act 2017, was required to be carried, which is not the requirement in law. For this very reason the judgment dated 29.1.2018 passed by a Coordinate Bench of this Court in Writ Tax No.95 of 2018 does not apply to the instant case, as the challenge therein was to the very power of the State Authorities under U.P.G.S

We are supported in our view not only by the statement made by Dr. Deepti Tripathi as recorded hereinabove, but also by the judgment of the Kerala High Court on the subject as reported in ASCICS Trading Company v. Assistant State Tax Officer & anr., 2017 NTN (Vol.65) 145, wherein it has been held as under:
“3. To a pointed query as to the power of the State Government to detain goods for alleged non compliance with the requirement of carrying the prescribed documents under the I.G.S.T. Act, which is the basis for the detention in Ext. P5 notice impugned in the writ petition, the learned Government Pleader would take me through the provisions of the IGST Act, CGST Act and SGST Act and in particular, the provisions of Section 4 and Section 20 of the IGST Act and Section 6 of the CGST Act read with Rule 138 of the CGST Rules as amended by notification No.27/2017 – Central Tax for the purposes of pointing out that, although the power to prescribe the documents that are to accompany the

now, it was an inter-State trade and there is nothing on record to show otherwise. The assertion that I.G.S.T. had already been paid, has also not been denied by the opposite parties nor that both the consignor and consignee are registered dealers. Moreover, the requisite details having been mentioned in the invoice etc. the same would be verified at the point of destination and accordingly the matter would be scrutinized as regards the liability of Tax. The notification dated 21.7.2017 issued by the State Government under Rule 138 of the U.P.G.S.T. Rules 2017 made under section 164 of the U.P.G.S.T. Act 2017 was clearly inapplicable for the reasons already mentioned earlier. There was no intent to evade tax.
As regards the question of alleged interpolation or fabrication of the T.D.F. Form submitted by the driver, Sri Agarwal has given an explanation before us, but, if it is so, the concerned authorities are at liberty to take such action as may be permissible in law, but this does

Sir,
Rule 33 of CGST Rules, 2017 states that-
Notwithstanding anything contained in the provisions of this Chapter, the expenditure or costs incurred by a supplier as a pure agent of the recipient of supply shall be excluded from the value of supply, if all the following conditions are satisfied, namely,-
(i) the supplier acts as a pure agent of the recipient of the supply, when he makes the payment to the third party on authorisation by such recipient;
(ii) the payment made by the pure agent on behalf of the recipient of supply has been separately indicated in the invoice issued by the pure agent to the recipient of service; and
(iii) the supplies procured by the pure agent from the third party as a pure agent of the recipient of supply are in addition to the services he supplies on his own account.

efore, A's recovery of such expenses is a disbursement and not part of the value of supply made by A to B.
In your case the supplier of manpower cannot be treated as 'pure agent' of you as per the definition given in the rule. Therefore the contractor is correct in charging gst on the entire amount charged by him towards supply of manpower.

Employer of the contractual labour shall be the contractor not company. Moreover,as per ESI and PF records the employer shall be contractor. Therefor the transaction cannot be covered under Schedule III.
Labour contractor cannot be treated as pure agent since as per rule 33(iii) "the supplies procured by the pure agent from the third party as a pure agent of the recipient of supply are in addition to the services he supplies on his own account". In your case the contractor is not taking any additional services from the labour instead this is the primary services which the contractor is provid

GSTR 3B of March 2018 can ve filed on or before 20th Apr 2018. GSTR 1 of March is also yet to filed. Thus you can match rectify the error in March month return. In GSTR1 you have shown less amount of taxes. Means you have missed to include sales invoice of the value mentioned in your query. Include that invoice in March month GSTR1. Before filing return check the impact in excel working and after ensuring that the correction will make figures correct. Thanks

At present the amendment can be done in subsequent month(s) or quarter(s). However, the amendment is for subsequent month or quarter. As we know that the quarterly filing of return GSTR-1 or GSTR-3B was not the intention of the Govt. Therefore, if any omission or rectification required, which were not done in the subsequent month or quarter, due to any reason, the Annual Return, where such reconciliation can be made and tax if any to be paid is required to be paid along with interest. As you might have noticed that Govt. intention was change the Accounting year from January to December. In this regards, Section 44 may please be referred.
