Court issued notice after allegations that enrolment rules were bypassed through paid oral interviews, and sought an explanation from the State Bar Council.

The Delhi High Court set aside a ₹45.36 crore GST demand after the Finance Ministry clarified that Section 86 of the CGST Act imposes joint liability only for goods, not services. The ruling confirms that agents cannot be taxed for services supplied by the principal without statutory backing.

ITAT held that arm’s length price for electricity supplied to related entities must be benchmarked against the gross tariff charged by the State Electricity Authority. Excluding mandatory charges distorts comparability and is impermissible.
The court examined whether pre-deposit under Section 112 could be enforced when the GST Tribunal was not yet functional. It held that the statutory requirement of pre-deposit still applies and upheld the interim direction.
