The High Court restrained coercive GST recovery as the show cause notice spanned six years in one proceeding. The key takeaway is that consolidated SCNs under Section 74 raise serious legal doubts.
Courts have held that bona fide recipients cannot be penalised for supplier defaults. Using Section 64 against compliant buyers is disproportionate and legally vulnerable.
The court ruled that a CBIC circular on deemed exports cannot block ITC refunds for actual exporters. Refunds under Section 54(3) must follow the statute when no deemed export benefits are claimed.
The article explains that once fraud-based proceedings fail, demands cannot be revived under Section 73 if limitation has expired. Statutory time limits remain mandatory and jurisdictional.
The court held that tax liability cannot be increased at the appellate stage on a new ground without giving the assessee an opportunity of hearing. Enhancement without following Section 107(11) was set aside and remanded.
