The issue concerned GST liability on electricity supplied through a solar power plant. The AAR held that electrical energy is exempt from GST and no registration is required when only exempt goods are supplied.
The issue involved classification of a fan drive assembly used in vehicle cooling systems. The AAR held that the product operates on viscous fluid principles and qualifies as a fluid coupling under HSN 8483.
The issue was whether taxpayers could choose between concessional and standard GST rates. The AAR held that once classified as outdoor catering, the 5% rate without ITC is mandatory.
The appellate authority found that facts presented on appeal differed from the original application. The case was remanded for fresh adjudication due to inconsistency in submissions.
The court held that Sections 73 and 74 allow show cause notices for any period, not limited to a financial year. Consolidated notices are valid, subject to limitation checks for each period.
The issue was cancellation of GST registration due to non-filing of returns and rejection of appeal as time-barred. The Court allowed manual filing of revocation application, emphasizing opportunity for compliance despite delay.
The court held that a show cause notice lacking clear reasons and supporting documents violates natural justice. It quashed the retrospective cancellation, allowing fresh proceedings as per law.
The Court examined whether ITC can be denied when the supplier fails to deposit tax. It upheld the provision, ruling that ITC depends on actual tax payment to the Government. The key takeaway is that purchaser compliance alone is insufficient without supplier tax remittance.
The authority examined whether automatic service charges violate consumer rights. It ruled that default billing of such charges is coercive and constitutes an unfair trade practice. The case reinforces that service charges must remain voluntary.
The Tribunal remanded the case after finding that ITC reversals on unsold inventory were not adequately examined. It directed fresh investigation to verify the impact on profiteering calculations and ensure proper assessment.
