7. We have considered the submissions made by the applicant in their application for advance ruling and additional submissions made at the time of personal hearing on 15.11.2017.

“12. In Collector of Central Excise, Shillong v. Wood Crafts Products Ltd. reported in (1995) 3 SCC 454, it was held by this Court that as expressly stated in the statements of objects and reasons of the Central Excise Tariff Act, 1985, the Central Excise Tariffs are based on the Harmonious System of Nomenclature (HSN) and the internationally accepted nomenclature was taken into account to reduce disputes on account of tariff classification. Accordingly, for resolving any dispute relating to tariff classification, a safe guide is the internationally accepted nomenclature emerging from the Harmonious System of Nomenclature (HSN). Although, the decision in the case of Woodcraft Products (supra) dealt with the int

(c) All other parts are to be classified in heading 8409, 8431, 8448, 8466, 8473, 8503, 8522, 8529 or 8538 as appropriate or, failing that, in heading 8487 or 8548.”
9.2 Further, Note 2 of Section XVII of the Customs Tariff Act, 1975 provides as follows :-
“2. The expression “parts” and “parts and accessories” do not apply to the following articles, whether or not they are identifiable as for the goods of this section :

11.1 The Chapter Heading 8481 of the Customs Tariff Act, 1975 applies to “Taps, cocks, valves and similar appliances for pipes, boiler, shells, tanks, vats or the like, including pressure-reducing valves and thermostatically controlled valves”.

Further, as the expression “parts” and “parts and accessories” under Section XVII of the Customs Tariff Act, 1975 do not apply to articles of heading 8481 in view of Note 2(e) of Section XVII of the Customs Tariff Act, 1975, and the product 'Steering Unit (Hydraulic Orbital Valve)' is item of Tariff Heading No. 84.81, the said product cannot be considered to be parts of vehicle, as it is excluded from Section XVII and hence the said product do not fall under Tariff Heading 8708 as “Steering wheels, steering columns and steering boxes; parts thereof”.
11.4 Further, Explanatory Notes to Heading 87.08 of 'parts and accessories of the motor vehicles of headings 87.01 to 87.05' inter-alia reads as follow :-

Subject: Filing of Returns under GST- regarding
The GST Council, in its 23rd meeting held at Guwahati on 10th November 2017, has taken certain decisions in regard to filing of returns by taxpayers. Subsequently, various representations have been received seeking clarifications on various aspects of return filing such as return filing dates, applicability and quantum of late fee, amendment of errors in submitting / filing of FORM GSTR-3B and other related queries. In order to consolidate the information in various notifications and circulars regarding return filing and to ensure uniformity in implementation across field for

1.2  It may be noted that all registered persons are required to file their FORM GSTR-3B on a monthly basis in terms of State Notification 04/2017 dated 29.09.2017 {issued in reference  to GOI Notification No. 35/2017-Central Tax (referred to as “CT' hereinafter) dated 15th September, 2017 and 56/2017-CT dated 15th November 2017. Further, GOI Notification No. 71/2017-CT and Notification No. 72/2017 – CT both dated 29 d1 December 2017 (superseding Notification No. 57/2017-CT and 58/2017-CT both dated 15th November 2017)) have been issued to notify the due dates for filing of outward supply statement in FORM GSTR-I for various months / quarters (as depicted in the calendar above) by registered persons having aggregate turnover in the previous financial year or current financial year of upto 1.5 Crores rupees and above 1.5 Crores rupees respectively. Since, the option of quarterly filing was not  available earlier, many taxpayers have alr

within eighteen days after the end of such quarter.
1.5 It is also clarified that the registered person will self-assess his aggregate turnover in terms of Section 2(6) of the DGST Act, 2017 for the previous financial year or the current financial year (in case of new registrants). Based on this self-assessed turnover, the registered person with turnover up to Rs. 1.5 Crores will be required to file FORM GSTR-I on quarterly basis instead of on monthly basis. It is also clarified that the registered person may  opt to file FORM GSTR-I on monthly basis if he so wishes even though his aggregate turnover is up to Rs. 1.5 Crores. Once he falls in this bracket or if he chooses to file return on monthly basis, the registered person will not have the option to change the return filing  periodicity for the entire financial year. In cases, where the registered person wrongly reports his aggregate turnover and opts to file FORM GSTR-I on quarterly basis, he may be liable for punitive

y been issued in this regard.
3.   Amendment / corrections / rectification of errors:
 3.1 Various representations have been received wherein registered persons have requested  for clarification on the procedure for rectification of errors made while filing their FORM GSTR-3B. In this regard, GOI Circular No. 7/7/2017-GST dated 1st September 2017 was issued which clarified that errors committed while filing FORM GSTR – 3B may be rectified while filing FORM GSTR-I and FORM GSTR-2 of the same month. Further, in the said circular, it was clarified that the system will automatically reconcile the data submitted in FORM GSTR-3B with FORM GSTR-I and FORM GSTR-2, and the variations if any will either be offset against output tax liability or added to the output tax liability of the subsequent months of the registered person,
3.2   Since, the GST Council has decided that the time period of filing of FORM GSTR-2 and FORM GSTR -3 for the month of July 2017 to Mar

be. It may be noted that while making adjustment in the output tax liability or input tax credit, there can be no negative entries in the FORM GSTR-3B. The amount remaining for adjustment, if any, may be adjusted in the return(s) in FORM GSTR 3B of subsequent month(s) and, in cases where such adjustment is not feasible, refund may be claimed. Where adjustments have been made in FORM GSTR-3B of multiple months, corresponding adjustments in FORM GSTR-I should also preferably be made in the corresponding months.
5.   Where the taxpayer has committed an enor in submitting (before offsetting and filing) the information in FORM GSTR-3B, a provision for editing the same has been provided. The facility to edit the information can be used only before offsetting the liability and editing will not be permitted after offsetting the liability. Hence, every care should be taken to ensure the accuracy of the figures before proceeding to offset the liabilities.

Rule 138 of the State GST Rules provides that persons in charge of conveyances carrying consignment of goods, where the goods are transported on a delivery chalan, shall carry along with the goods a declaration in Form KER-1 uploaded before such transportation of goods in the Kerala Value Added Tax Information System portal (KVATIS). The essence of Ext.P3 notice, therefore, was that the goods transported by the petitioner were not accompanied by the uploaded Form KER-1 declaration. The petitioner sent Ext.P4 reply to Ext.P3 notice stating that it is on account of an inadvertent omission on the part of their employees that Form KER-1 declaration was not uploaded and that Form KER-1 declaration in respect of goods covered by the delivery chalan was uploaded immediately on receipt of Ext.P3 notice. Along with Ext.P4 reply, a copy of the uploaded declaration in Form

fect noted in the documents that accompanied the goods was absence of Form KER-1 declaration and that since Form KER-1 declaration was uploaded and made available to the first respondent immediately on receipt of notice, there is no justification for the continued detention of the goods. It was also contended by the learned counsel for the petitioner that the authenticity of the delivery chalan issued by the petitioner in the instant case is not disputed by the first respondent in Ext.P3 notice and therefore, the first respondent cannot be heard to contend that the transaction involves a taxable supply. According to the learned counsel, since the transaction does not involve a taxable supply, the goods cannot be detained invoking the power under Section 129 of the CGST and SGST Acts.
5. Per contra, the learned Government Pleader submitted that going by the provisions contained in Section 129, the goods can be detained for violation of the provisions contained in the CGST and SGST Acts

services tax under the said statutes. Section 7 of the statutes which are identical in dealing with the scope of supply, reads thus;
7. (1) For the purposes of this Act, the expression “supply” includes-
(a) all forms of supply of goods or services or both such as sale, transfer, barter, exchange, license, rental, lease or disposal made or agreed to be made for a consideration by a person in the course or furtherance of business;
(b) import of services for a consideration whether or not in the course or furtherance of business;
(c) the activities specified in Schedule I, made or agreed to be made without consideration, and (d) the activities to be treated as supply of goods or services as referred to in Schedule II.
(2) Notwithstanding anything contained in sub- section (1)-
(a) activities or transactions specified in Schedule III; or
(b) such activities or transactions undertaken by the Central Government, a State Government or any local authority in which they are

been availed on such assets.
2. Supply of goods or services or both between related persons or between distinct persons as specified in section 25, when made in the course or furtherance of business: Provided that gifts not exceeding fifty thousand rupees in value in a financial year by an employer to an employee shall not be treated as supply of goods or services or both.
3. Supply of goods-
(a) by a principal to his agent where the agent undertakes to supply such goods on behalf of the principal; or
(b) by an agent to his principal where the agent undertakes to receive such goods on behalf of the principal.
4. Import of services by a taxable person from a related person or from any of his other establishments outside India, in the course or furtherance of business.
In the light of the aforesaid provisions, there cannot be any doubt that when a taxable person transports the goods procured by them for own use to the site where the goods are to be consumed, the transact

s not in accordance with Rules 55 and 138 of the State GST Rules. The question, therefore, is as to whether the detention as provided for under Section 129 of the statutes was justified merely for non compliance of Rules 55 and 138 of the State GST rules.
7. Chapter XIX of the statutes containing Sections 122 to 138 deals with offences and penalties. Among the said provisions, Sections 122 to 128 deal with imposition of penalties. Section 129 deals with detention, seizure and release of goods and conveyances in transit. Sections 130 and 131 deal with confiscation of goods or conveyances and levy of penalty and Sections 132 to 138 deal with the various offences under the Act. Among the said provisions, Section 129 dealing with detention, seizure and release of goods and conveyances in transit, reads thus
“129. Detention. seizure and release of goods and conveyances in transit.

(c) upon furnishing a security equivalent to the amount payable under clause (a) or clause (b) in such form and manner as may be prescribed: Provided that no such goods or conveyance shall be detained or seized without serving an order of detention or seizure on the person transporting the goods.
(2) The provisions of sub-section (6) of section 67 shall, mutatis mutandis, apply for detention and seizure of goods and conveyances.
(3) The proper officer detaining or seizing goods or conveyances shall issue a notice specifying the tax and penalty payable and thereafter, pass an order for payment of tax and penalty under clause (a) or clause (b) or clause (c).
(4) No tax, interest or penalty shall be determined under sub-section (3) without giving the person concerned an opportunity of being heard.
(5) On payment of amount referred in sub-section (1), all proceedings in respect of the notice specified

(2) Whenever confiscation of any goods or conveyance is authorized by this Act, the officer adjudging it shall give to the owner of the goods an option to pay in lieu of confiscation, such fine as the said officer thinks fit:
Provided that such fine leviable shall not exceed the market value of the goods confiscated, less the tax chargeable thereon.
Provided further that the

(6) The proper officer adjudging confiscation shall take and hold possession of the things confiscated and every officer of Police, on the requisition of such proper officer, shall assist him in taking and holding such possession.
(7) The proper officer may, after satisfying himself that the confiscated goods or conveyance are not required in any other proceedings under this Act and after giving reasonable time not exceeding three months to pay fine in lieu of confiscation, dispose of such goods or conveyance and deposit the sale proceeds thereof with the Government.
A combined reading of Sections 129 and 130, especially the provision contained in sub section (6) of Section 129 indicates that the detention of the goods is contemplated under the statutes only when it is suspected that the goods are liable to confiscation. This aspect is seen clarified by the Central Board of Excise and Customs in the FAQs published by them on 31.3.2017 also. Section 130

presented.
Learned Advocate appearing for the respondents submits that, the work order has since been issued. The tender process was not finalized with the first declaration of the petitioner being the lowest tenderer. It was within the power of the respondent authorities to enquire from the participants as to whether the final price quoted by a participant included tax components or not. Such enquiry was made. The successful bidder had quoted a price which included GST. Finding that, the financial implication in accepting the tender of the successful bidder would be less than that of the petitioners, the respondent authorities had accepted such bid of the successful bidder. There is no infirmity in the action taken by the authorities. Mor

eld to all the participants participating in the tender process. The action of the authorities in obtaining information from the participants as to the tax implications cannot faulted. It is within their rights to have such information. Apparently, the petitioners contended that, their bid did not include GST and that, the employer has to pay extra on account of GST. The successful bidder, however, stated that, their price included GST. On evaluation, the authorities found the price quoted by the successful bidder to be lower than that of the petitioner after taking GST implications. Such a decision cannot faulted as being perverse.
In such circumstances, I find no material irregularity in the decision making process of the respondent auth

The supplier of such cases takes into account the amount so deducted and makes the balance payment of tax to the government.
When tax would be deducted at source
As per section 51 of the GST Act, the tax at sou

Subject: Filing of Returns under GST- regarding
The GST Council, in its 23rd meeting held at Guwahati on 10th November 2017, has taken certain decisions in regard to filing of returns by taxpayers. Subsequently, various representations have been received seeking clarifications on various aspects of return filing such as return filing dates, applicability and quantum of late fee, amendment of errors in submitting / filing of FORM GSTR-3B and other related queries. In order to consolidate the information

ove) by registered persons having aggregate turnover in the previous financial year or current financial year of uptol.5 Crores rupees and above 1.5 Crores rupees respectively. Since, the option of quarterly filing was not available earlier, many taxpayers have already filed their FORM GSTR-1 for the month of July, such taxpayers shall not file these details again and shall only file details for the month of August and September, 2017. For those, who have not filed their FORM GSTR-1 for the month of July, they shall also file their FORM GSTR-1 for the month of July separately and then file their FORM GSTR-1 on quarterly basis for the month Of August and September, 2017.
1.3 It has been further decided that the time period of filing of FORM GSTR-2 and FORM GSTR-3 for the months of July 2017 to March 2018 would be worked out by a Committee of officers and communicated later.
1.4 Registered persons opting for Composition scheme are required to file their returns quarterly in FORM GSTR-4

e registered person will not have the option to change the return filing periodicity for the entire financial year. In cases, where the registered person wrongly reports his aggregate turnover and opts to file FORM GSTR-1 on quarterly basis, he may be liable for punitive action under the Chhattisgarh Goods and Services Act, 2017.
2. Applicability and quantum of late fee:
2.1 The late fee for the months of July, August and September for late filing of FORM GSTR-3B has already been waived off vide Notification No. 28/2017-State Tax dated 6th September 2017 and 50/2017-State Tax dated 26th October 2017.
2.2 It has been decided that for subsequent months, i.e. October 2017 onwards, the amount of late fee payable, by a taxpayer whose tax liability for that month was 'NIL', will be ₹ 20/- per day (Rs. 10/- per day each under CGST & SGST Acts) instead of ₹ 200/- per day (Rs. 100/- per day each under CGST & SGST Acts). For other taxpayers, whose tax liability for that m

ity or added to the output tax liability of the subsequent months of the registered person.
3.2 Since, the GST Council has decided that the time period of filing of FORM GSTR-2 and FORM GSTR-3 for the month of July 2017 to March 2018 would be worked out by a committee of officers, the system based reconciliation prescribed under Circular No. 7/7/2017-GST dated 1st September 2017 can only be operationalized after the relevant notification is issued. The said circular is therefore kept in abeyance till such time.
3.3 The common errors while submitting FORM GSTR-3B and the steps needed to be taken to rectify the same are provided in the table annexed herewith. The registered person needs to decide at which stage of filing of FORM GSTR-3B he is currently at and also the error committed by him. The corresponding column in the table provides the steps to be followed by him to rectify such error.
4. It is clarified that as return in FORM GSTR-3B do not contain provisions for reporting of d

and argued the matter. It was submitted that the appellant are incorporated as a company for setting up establishment and promotion of Industrial Estates within the State. Pursuant to its objects, appellants are engaged, inter alia, in the business of developing Industrial Estates and Housing Plots and acquires lands in accordance with procedure established under law. The Finance Bill, 2017 inserted a new Section 104 retrospectively exempting from service tax the services rendered by State Government Industrial Development Corporation. The said exemption granted would be eligible for the appellant and therefore the demand of service tax is unsustainable. It is submitted that for a subsequent period, the Commissioner after taking into consideration the amendment has dropped the demand of service tax except that of water charges. He therefore requested the matter may be remanded to the adjudicating authority for reconsideration of the issues on the basis of the retrospective amendment in

djudication for the limited purpose of recalculation of demand giving the benefit of CENVAT credit. Ld. consultant argued that the present show cause notice is for a subsequent period and that the department has invoked the extended period of limitation alleging suppression of facts. That the appellant was under bonafide belief that they are not liable to pay the service tax since the maintenance charges were collected along with rent and during the relevant period, the levy of service tax on renting of immovable property was under dispute. The appeal filed by the appellant against the adjudication order for the earlier period was pending before the Tribunal. That since the appellant was still litigating the issue, it cannot be said that ap

wn case cited supra. The Tribunal in the said case had remanded the matter for the limited purpose of recalculation of net tax liability after giving the benefit of CENVAT credit to the appellants. Further, the appellant is a State Government Corporation primarily set up for promoting IT and IT enabled services. This being so, nefarious intention to evade payment of service tax cannot be expected from them. In the present case, the department had issued an earlier show cause notice on the very same set of facts and allegations. Therefore, they cannot allege suppression of facts with intent to evade payment of service tax. The contention of the ld.
