The Ministry of Finance, Department of Revenue, issued a Corrigendum on June 18, 2025, amending a previous notification (G.S.R. 256(E) dated April 24, 2025). This corrigendum introduces several adjustments to the rules and forms related to the Goods and Services Tax Appellate Tribunal (GSTAT). Key changes include a clarification in Rule 115(1) of Chapter XIV, specifying the applicability of the rule within the broader framework of Chapters I to XIV, unless otherwise ordered by the President. Additionally, a correction has been made to the schedule of fees for interlocutory applications, where “Rule 118(2)” is now to be read as “Rule 119(2)“. In Form GSTAT FORM-05, the reference “[See rule 6 and 81]” has been revised to simply “[See rule 81]”. Furthermore, a minor textual correction in Rule 2(b) changes “section sub-section” to “sub-section.” Finally, Rule 103(5) has been updated to include an exception for digitally signed online orders, stating that such orders do not require the Appellate Tribunal’s seal. These amendments aim to refine the procedural and administrative aspects of the GSTAT operations.
