The petitioner claimed entitlement to Input Tax Credit (ITC) but faced technical difficulties preventing the filing of Form TRAN 1, thereby hindering credit utilization.The Respondent pointed out a misconception in the prayer, stating that the direction should have been against the Nodal Officer GST implementation Commission (R3) instead of the first respondent (R1).
