Judgement in writ petitions challenging section 62(5) of PVAT Act reserved by High Court Earlier I had shared with my readers that I had filed writ petitions along with other similar petitions challenging the Constitutional validity of section 62(5) of Punjab VAT Act, 2005 before Punjab & Haryana High Court.
The Punjab and Haryana high court on 07.08.2015 dismissed the petitions of more than 150 firms operating in Punjab which had challenged amendment in the VAT (value-added tax) Act, 2005 by the state government in 2013.

Judgment in case of Amrit Banaspati Company Ltd.- The Hon’ble High Court upheld the Constitutional Validity of the amended Section 29(4) in entirety and dismissed the writ petitions. The basic grievances of the petitioners were that the Amendment of Section 29(4) was prospective and not retrospective.
Section 13 of the PVAT Act, 2005 provides for the entitlement of Input Tax Credit on the purchases made by a Taxable Person subject to such Conditions as may be prescribed. However when a person uses taxable goods for the production of both taxable and tax free goods Section 13(5) & Rules 23 & 24 of the PVAT Rules, 2005 comes into play.
On 01-04-2005 Government of Punjab introduced Punjab Value Added Tax Act, 2005 (in PVAT Act, 2005) by abolishing the Punjab General Sales Tax Act, 1948. As the name suggests it’s a tax charged on portion of Value Addition at each stage. At each stage, tax calculated on sales (Outputs) and vendors are able to claim tax credits to recover the tax paid on their purchases (Inputs).

CM Punjab has already forwarded this representation to the Financial […]
Now a day’s cooking of foods products by the Hotel Industry/ Restaurants are mostly done with the help of Liquefied Petroleum Gas. Liquefied Petroleum Gas is the major ingredient used for converting raw food into final product. However the Excise & Taxation Department is disallowing Input Tax Credit on the purchase of Liquefied Petroleum Gas on the basis of Section 13 (5) of the Act while ignoring 1st Proviso to Section 13(1). This had led to many controversies all over the State.
The Hon’ble Punjab & Haryana High Court in one of writ petitions challenging the constitutional vires of section 62(5) of Punjab VAT Act, 2005 filed by me has granted interim stay on adopting coercive measures for recovery of 25% pre-deposit as required under the said section for hearing of appeal and also has made an […]
In my opinion, in the present scenario collection of taxes from builders and developers in the State of Rajasthan for the period between 1st April 2014 to 13th July 2014 would not be valid proposition as analyzed on the basis of principles laid down by Hon’ble Apex Court and Punjab and Haryana High Court.
