This piece argues that although GST is architected as a technology-driven regime—based on online registration, portal filings, e-invoicing, e-way bills and bank-linked payments—field enforcement often continues with a pre-GST physical presence mindset.
This article explains how to compute threshold limit for e-way bill applicability, focusing on what constitutes consignment value when an invoice contains multiple components such as GST, cess, exempt goods, freight, insurance, or other service charges.
Explains when warranty replacements are GST-neutral vs taxable supply, using OnePlus green-line policy, CBIC circulars, and valuation rules.
The 15 Vital Recommendations for GST for Budget 2026 propose practical reforms to restore GST neutrality, reduce litigation, and unlock working capital. A key suggestion is to revisit Section 17(5) blocked credits and align them with Income-tax principles so that ITC is allowed for genuine business expenditures.
The court held that ITC reversal under Section 29(5) depends on a valid cancellation. Once registration is restored, the ITC demand collapses.
The Supreme Court held that the mandatory GST appeal pre-deposit need not be paid only in cash. Valid input tax credit in the Electronic Credit Ledger can be used, easing cash-flow pressure on taxpayers.
The court held that ITC cannot be denied to a genuine purchaser merely because the supplier failed to pay GST. Bona fide transactions without fraud or collusion must not attract reversal of credit.
The court held that bank account attachment under GST cannot continue beyond one year without renewal. Failure to issue a fresh order rendered the attachment illegal.
The law mandates strict adherence to the notice’s grounds and amounts. Any enhancement or new basis at adjudication violates natural justice and the CGST Act.
The court ruled that Section 74 proceedings cannot be invoked in the absence of fraud or wilful suppression, especially where tax and interest were voluntarily paid before investigation.
