Issues: Whether the petitioner was entitled to continue the interest-free sales tax deferral benefit after switching from sale of LPG cylinders through dealers to job work for another oil company, and whether such change amounted to breach of the deferral agreement and the Government incentive scheme.
Analysis: The deferral scheme under G.O. Ms. No. 500 extended relief only in relation to sales tax arising from the products manufactured or handled by the unit. The Court found that, from 2002 onwards, the petitioner was not generating any sales tax liability from its earlier business activity and had shifted to job work, which did not produce sales tax revenue for the period concerned. On that basis, the Court held that the benefit of deferral, being only a postponement of tax otherwise payable, could not be retained when the very activity on which the scheme operated had ceased to create tax liability. The cited decisions on job work and expansion incentives were distinguished as arising in different factual and legal contexts.
Conclusion: The cancellation of the deferral agreement was upheld and the petitioner was held not entitled to the benefit in the changed business circumstances.
Ratio Decidendi: Interest-free sales tax deferral under the scheme is available only so long as the unit continues to generate the sales tax liability contemplated by the incentive scheme; if the business change results in no such liability, the benefit can be withdrawn for breach of the scheme conditions.
