The Madras High Court upheld the blocking of Input Tax Credit under Rule 86A after the Managing Director admitted availing ITC on blocked invoices during inspection. The Court ruled that such admission weakened the taxpayer’s challenge to the department’s action.

The Madras High Court quashed a GST order passed after the assessee failed to reply to a show cause notice and remitted the matter for fresh adjudication. The court allowed reconsideration subject to a 10% pre-deposit of the disputed tax.
The High Court held that there was no violation of natural justice because the taxpayer’s reply to the show cause notice was referred to and considered in the assessment order. The petitioner was directed to pursue the statutory appellate remedy instead of invoking writ jurisdiction.
The Court refused to review its earlier ruling that retrospective GST cancellation was invalid due to lack of reasons in the show cause notice and absence of prior notice to the taxpayer.
The Gauhati High Court held that when a taxpayer clears outstanding tax, interest, and late fees and files pending returns, authorities must consider restoration of GST registration under Rule 22(4).
