देरी से file appeal पर highcourt का आदेश *Central Goods and Services Tax Act, section107(4) read section 73 के तहत आदेश पर सुनवाई का अधिकार: Calcutta High Court का निर्णय*

*Central Goods and Services Tax Act, section107(4) read section 73 के तहत आदेश पर सुनवाई का अधिकार: Calcutta High Court का निर्णय*

 Central Goods and Services Tax Act, section 107(4) read section73- प्रस्तुत वाद में section 73 के तहत आदेश पारित करके कर के साथ interest and penalty आरोपित किया गया। याचीकर्ता ने पारित आदेश की जानकारी होते ही विलम्ब क्षमा प्रार्थना-पत्र के साथ अपील दाखिल कर दी। प्रथम अपील विलम्बित होने के आधार पर खारिज हुई जिसको challenge देते हुए 

Calcutta High Court के समक्ष writ याचिका दाखिल की गयी। याचीकर्ता का कथन है कि उसे पारित आदेश की जानकारी नहीं थी और C.A. पर भरोसा करने के कारण कर जमा करने में चूक हुई थी, अतः appeal merits and demerits पर सुनी जानी चाहिए। 

Honorable High Court ने याचीकर्ता के कथन को rational मानते हुए अभिमत दिया कि याचीकर्ता पर कर दायित्व आरोपित करने से पूर्व सुनवाई का अवसर दिया जाना आवश्यक है। Honorable Court ने प्रथम Appellate Authority को निर्देशित किया कि गुण-दोष के आधार पर अपील की सुनवाई की जाये। writ याचिका निस्तारित ।

व्यापारिक स्थल पर stock न होने की वजह से Registration रद्द किया जा सकता है??? ALLAHABAD HIGH COURT in M/s Shree Ram Glass vs State of U.P. (16-feb-2024)

*"क्या stock के अनुपलब्ध होने से Merchant का Registration निरस्त होना उचित है?"*


UP Goods and Services Tax Act, section 29 (2) एवं 30-प्रस्तुत वाद में Registration इस आधार पर निरस्त हुआ कि Declared place of business पर याचीकर्ता द्वारा कोई Business activity नहीं की जाती है। Revocation इस आधार पर खारिज किया गया कि स्थल Observation पर याचीकर्ता के Trading site कोई Stock नहीं पाया गया था। First Appellate Authority ने Cancellation of Registration Order की confirmed की जिसको challenge देते हुए Lucknow High Court के समक्ष writ याचिका दाखिल की गयी। याचीकर्ता का कथन है 

कि उसने अपने Filing of returns किये हुए हैं जिसे अधिकारियों ने Accepted भी किया है और firm के Bogus होने के सम्बन्ध में कोई सामग्री उपलब्ध नहीं है। Hon'ble High Court ने याचीकर्ता के कथन को उचित मानते हुए पारित Registration Cancellation आदेश समाप्त किया तथा अभिमत दिया कि ऐसा कोई कानून नहीं है जो Merchant को यह आदेश देता हो कि Trading place पर हमेशा Stock उपलब्ध रखा जाये, अतः मात्र Stock उपलब्ध न होने के आधार पर याचीकर्ता का Registration निरस्त नहीं किया जा सकता। writ स्वीकार।

Rectification Applications under GST Laws: Analyzing Mistakes and Judgments

Rectification Applications under GST Laws: Analyzing Mistakes and Judgments


We all are in the process of filing Rectification Applications U/s 161 of GST Laws for "Mistake Apparent from Records."

What are the mistakes that are apparent from the records?

Let's analyze various judgments

Right of this research with: Abhishek Raja Ram

1. Delhi High Court
1.1 Food Specialities Limited (1984)
If two opinions about a question are open, then it is also not a mistake. It is only if the matter is so obvious that there can be only one answer and not much reasoning is required that one can say : It is an apparent mistake.
2. Calcutta High Court
2.1 M/s Russel Properties (P.) Ltd. (1985)
ARR: Capital gains computed on basis of one view: Failure to adopt a different view - Not a mistake apparent from the record that can be rectified.
3. Kerala High Court
3.1 M/s Ram Bahadur Thakur Ltd., Cochin
Entering into reasonableness of the expenditure claimed by the assessee in connection with the transfer - Cannot be said to be a mistake apparent from record.
3.2 Equity Intelligence India Pvt. Ltd., Cochin (2021)
Assessee claiming that Assessing Officer refused to consider Circular while issuing assessment order is not a mistake apparent on face of record to be rectified in proceedings u/S. 154. ARR
4. Andhra Pradesh High Court
4.1 P. R. N. S. and Co., Anantapur (1976)
Mistake apparent on the record must be an obvious and patent mistake, and not something that can be established by a long drawn process of reasoning on points on which there may be conceivably two opinions.
A decision on a debatable point of law is not a mistake apparent from the record.
5. Rajasthan High Court
5.1 B.L. Murarka (2001)
Only apparent mistake can be rectified - Decision on debatable point of law - Is not a mistake apparent from record.
6. Supreme Court
6.1 Saurashtra Kutch Stock Exchange Ltd (2008)
Non-consideration of the decision of the jurisdictional High Court/Supreme Court by the Tribunal - (ARR) Can be said to be mistake apparent from record.
7. Orissa High Court
7.1 Commissioner of Income-tax, Orissa v. Income-tax Appellate Tribunal, Cuttack Bench (1991)
Mistakes highlighted by assessee in order of Tribunal relating to certain erroneous conclusions -
Conclusions even if inappropriate do not constitute 'mistakes apparent from record' - Tribunal recalling its order - Not justified.

I hope you will find this useful.

Warm Regards
