Transit-State GST Jurisdiction: Verification remains permissible, but external inter-State supplies lack a local detention-penalty nexus.
Notes
GST
GST transit-state jurisdiction permits interception, document verification and authorised physical inspection of inter-State consignments, but physical passage through an intermediate State does not itself establish a place of supply, tax liability or penalty jurisdiction. Section 129 detention and penalty require contravention linked to a taxable nexus; where documented origin and destination are outside the transit State and there is no diversion, local supply, false documentation or mismatch of goods, an e-invoice defect alone should be addressed by authorities connected with the supplier or recipient. Cross-empowerment under the CGST and IGST regimes facilitates administration but does not create independent territorial taxing authority. Discrepancies may be recorded and communicated to competent jurisdiction.
