The Madras High Court held that complete failure to file the annual return can attract both late fee under Section 47 and general penalty under Section 125. The ruling distinguishes non-filing from delayed filing, potentially widening GST penalty exposure.
The Madras High Court held that failure to file the annual return in Form GSTR-9 attracts late fee under Section 47(2) of the CGST Act. It further ruled that penalty under Section 125 is permissible where no separate penalty is prescribed for such default.
The High Court held that healthcare services remain exempt even when delivered through another hospital under a revenue-sharing arrangement. Classification must follow the true nature of the supply rather than the contractual structure.
The Karnataka High Court held that granting only one day’s time to respond to a show cause notice violates principles of natural justice. The ex-parte assessment order was set aside and the matter remanded for fresh adjudication.
The Madras High Court held that cross-examination is not an absolute right in GST adjudication. Where allegations of fraudulent ITC can be rebutted through invoices, e-way bills and transportation records, denial of cross-examination alone does not vitiate proceedings.
FIR registered against officials and the liquidator of Punj Lloyd Ltd. (PLL), which alleged non‑payment of subcontractor dues and misuse of Goods and Services Tax (GST) input credits in connection with the Gas Authority of India Ltd (GAIL) pipeline project was quashed as mere breach of contractual obligations, delayed payments, GST disputes, or financial reconciliation issues did not constitute the offence of cheating unless fraudulent or dishonest intention existed from the inception of the transaction.
The issue was whether ITC could be denied solely because the taxpayer failed to produce lorry receipts and weighment slips despite possessing tax invoices and dealing with a registered supplier.
The issue concerns confusion regarding the purpose and sequencing of GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B filings. The key takeaway is that GSTR-1 should be filed first to ensure proper ITC flow and avoid reconciliation mismatches and scrutiny.
This analysis explains why a redemption fine under Section 130(2) cannot be sustained once authorities conclude that Section 130 lacks jurisdictional applicability. Excess stock cases must instead be addressed under Sections 73 or 74 of the GST Act.
GST allocates tax revenue to the state where goods and services are consumed rather than produced. The key takeaway is that stronger consumer markets often translate into higher state GST collections.
