The High Court set aside a GST demand order after observing that the adjudicating authority did not examine the taxpayer’s detailed reply and issued only generic conclusions. The ruling emphasized that adjudicating authorities must discuss submissions and provide clear reasons before confirming tax and penalty demands.
The Court revoked cancellation of GST registration after accepting that the taxpayer’s failure to file returns for six months was due to mental stress and physical illness.
The High Court held that general penalty under Section 125 cannot be imposed when late fee is already levied under GST law. The court therefore removed the penalty while confirming the late fee liability.
The High Court held that a claim for refund of money deposited under a commercial plot allotment scheme arises from contractual obligations. Such disputes must be pursued before a civil court and cannot be decided in writ jurisdiction.
Calcutta High Court held that GST circulars issued in 2022 cannot retrospectively restrict refund claims when the taxpayer’s right to claim refund had already accrued and the application was filed within the statutory limitation period under Section 54.
The High Court quashed the appellate order rejecting a GST appeal on the ground of manual filing. The Court held that once the authority accepted the appeal and heard it on merits, it could not dismiss it later on a technical ground.
The Tribunal found merit in the respondent’s argument that ITC comparison should be based on identical goods and services and directed DGAP to re-investigate.
The Court observed that show cause notices had clearly provided opportunities for personal hearing and submission of documents. It directed payment of costs after finding the allegation of denial of natural justice to be false.
Under Section 74A, the limitation for issuing GST demand notices becomes 42 months for all cases. This is longer than the earlier three-year limit for non-fraud cases, increasing compliance exposure for bona fide taxpayers despite procedural simplification.
The Allahabad High Court held that tax determination under GST cannot be made against a deceased person. The demand order was quashed as no notice was issued to the legal representative.
