Date 24 Dec 2024
Written By
Allahabad High Court Invalidates Tax Orders Issued Beyond Time Limit u/s 73 CGST Act, 2017.
The Allahabad High Court quashed orders issued by the tax department for the fiscal year 2017-18, as they were issued beyond the prescribed time limit under Section 73 of the Central Goods and Services Tax Act, 2017. The court ruled that the notification extending the time limit, effective from March 31, 2023, could not apply retroactively to orders that should have been completed by February 5, 2023. Consequently, the court allowed the writ petition filed by the petitioner, invalidating the orders issued in October 2024 and December 2023. - (AI Summary)

The Hon’ble Allahabad High Court in the case of M/S A.V. PHARMA THRU. ITS PROP. SMT. MADHU VOHRA VERSUS STATE OF U.P. THRU. PRIN. SECY. STATE TAX LKO.

Facts:

AV Pharma (“the Petitioner”) through its Proprietor, filed a writ petition for setting aside of order dated October 05, 2024 issued in Form GST DRC-13 and December 02, 2023 issued in Form GST DRC-07 (“the Impugned Orders”) for the period of FY 2017-2018 (“the Impugned Period”) on the ground that the Impugned Orders passed are barred by sub-section (10) of Section 73 of the CGST Act, as the said Impugned Orders have been passed beyond the prescribed time limit, i.e. three years from the due date of filing of annual return, ending on February 05, 2023.

Whether Notification extending time limit would be applicable for passing of order under Section 73 for FY 2017-2018?
