The issue was whether commissions from foreign universities attract GST as intermediary services. The court held that principal-to-principal consultancy services qualify as export, entitling refund.
The SC rejected the State’s challenge citing an unexplained 676-day delay and found no reason to interfere with the High Court’s refund order. The High Court’s direction to process the original refund claim remained effective.
The High Court held that contradictory portal communications and missing rejection orders cannot defeat a refund claim. The original refund application was ordered to be honoured with interest.
The GST portal has revamped GSTR-3B filing to improve interest calculation, ITC usage, and reporting accuracy. Taxpayers must verify auto-filled data to ensure correct compliance.
Courts have clarified that summons, audits, and investigations do not amount to initiation of proceedings under GST. The jurisdictional bar applies only once a determinative adjudicatory step like a show cause notice is issued.
The court held that appeals filed beyond the three-month period plus one-month condonable window under Section 107 cannot be entertained. The ruling reinforces strict adherence to limitation under the CGST Act.
Following the High Court’s ruling on limitation, the Supreme Court dismissed the SLP as withdrawn. The decision leaves intact the finding that delayed GST appeals are not maintainable.
The court ruled that a petitioner cannot re-agitate merits after appeal and writ remedies fail on limitation. Statutory timelines under GST were strictly enforced.
The High Court found that the appeal was rejected ex-parte without valid service of hearing notice. The ruling stresses that portal uploading alone is insufficient when communication is disputed.
