The Karnataka High Court held that courts cannot direct GST authorities to waive statutory interest, penalty, or limitation merely because contractors face disputes over reimbursement of GST. The ruling clarifies that contractual disputes cannot override the statutory GST framework.
The Karnataka High Court held that interest under Section 50 of the CGST Act is mandatory and cannot be waived without statutory authority. It set aside the Single Judge’s directions permitting waiver of interest, penalty, and limitation.
The article examines whether automated interest notices for FY 2019–20 can survive after limitation under Section 73 has expired. It highlights judicial views that disputed interest requires adjudication and cannot be recovered through indirect mechanisms.
The Andhra Pradesh High Court held that depositing money into the electronic cash ledger does not discharge GST liability. Tax is treated as paid only when the amount is debited and appropriated to the Government account, making interest payable for the delay.
The article argues that refunds arising from the Supreme Court’s ruling in Mohit Minerals fall squarely within the proviso to Section 56 of the CGST Act. It contends that the statutory framework mandates 9% interest for court-ordered refunds that have attained finality, not the 6% awarded by the High Court.
The Andhra Pradesh High Court held that refund arising from an unconstitutional GST levy carries a constitutional right to interest. The Court ruled that the State must compensate taxpayers for wrongful retention of money.
The ruling clarifies that interest on pre-deposit refunds starts from the payment date, not after 60 days, ensuring full compensation to taxpayers.
The Court held that penalty under Section 73 cannot be imposed without justification even where tax liability is admitted. It allowed reconsideration of the issue while confirming liability to pay interest on delayed payment. The ruling emphasizes that penalty is not automatic.
The case clarifies that Section 74 requires clear evidence of fraud or wilful suppression. Mere reliance on third-party alerts without independent inquiry is insufficient. The ruling protects taxpayers from mechanical and assumption-based proceedings.
The Court ruled that reversal of ITC after a long delay does not negate interest liability. It emphasized that interest arises from the time of wrongful claim until reversal. Key takeaway: delayed correction does not absolve liability.
