In re Viceroy Properties LLP (GST AAR Maharashtra)
The matter before the Authority for Advance Ruling, Maharashtra, involved an application filed under Section 97 of the CGST Act and MGST Act by a taxpayer seeking clarification on eligibility to avail input tax credit (ITC) on the purchase of commercial property against leasing income.
The applicant had originally raised the question of whether ITC of tax paid on acquisition of commercial property could be claimed when the property is used for generating leasing income. However, during the course of proceedings, the applicant, through an email dated 5 January 2026, expressed its intention to withdraw the application and stated that it no longer wished to pursue the clarification sought.
The Authority considered the request and noted that the withdrawal was voluntary and unconditional. Accordingly, without examining the merits of the issue or the factual aspects of the case, the Authority allowed the withdrawal.
The application filed on 27 September 2022 was therefore disposed of as withdrawn. The Authority did not render any ruling on the substantive question relating to ITC eligibility, leaving the issue undecided.
