The article highlights that traditional GST audits fail to detect real-time discrepancies. Continuous audit models help businesses stay compliant and reduce risks.

The Court ruled that interest cannot be imposed in adjudication if it was not specified in the show cause notice. The decision reinforces that authorities cannot exceed the scope of the original notice under GST law.
The issue was whether pigmy agents are independent service providers or employees. The Court held they are employees, so their remuneration is not a taxable supply under GST.
The Court found that the appellate authority rejected the appeal solely on delay without examining the reasons provided. It held that such non-consideration renders the order unsustainable and directed fresh adjudication.
The Court emphasized the need for fair opportunity before finalizing tax demands. The petitioner was allowed to respond to the show-cause notice in fresh proceedings.

The issue was whether ITC is available on GST paid for leasehold rights used to build a plant. The ruling held ITC is blocked as the expense is linked to construction of immovable property, with capitalisation being the key factor.
