Stock confiscation requires proof of intent to evade tax; statutory interpretation disputes fall outside departmental appeal limits.
Case-Laws
GST
Confiscation for stock discrepancies requires independent proof of the statutory ingredients, including intent to evade tax; a discrepancy alone does not establish clandestine supply or deliberate evasion. Visual estimates unsupported by actual weighment and internally contradictory verification sheets do not reliably establish excess stock. Stock-accounting discrepancies must be examined under the regular demand and assessment provisions rather than treated as grounds for automatic confiscation. Departmental appeals involving interpretation of the GST Act fall outside prescribed monetary limits, including disputes over whether confiscation or regular demand provisions apply to stock discrepancies.
