Court delays opinion on ER-1 Returns filing under CGST Act. Reversal request paused pending Show Cause Notice.
The court refrained from expressing an opinion on the merits of the case involving a delay in filing ER-1 Returns under the CGST Act. An impugned communication requested the reversal of a wrongly credited amount, with a Show Cause Notice (SCN) under Section 73 of the CGST Act to follow. The court directed that the reversal request be put on hold until the formal SCN is issued within four weeks. The writ petition was disposed of without costs, and related miscellaneous petitions were closed.
Issues: Delay in filing Returns under CGST Act, Impugned communication, Show Cause Notice
Delay in filing Returns under CGST Act: The writ petitioner, a Registered Dealer under the CGST Act, faced a delay in filing ER-1 Returns for June 2017, which were belatedly submitted on 29.12.2018. The petitioner claimed to have remitted a penalty of Rs. 20,000 for the delay. The court refrained from expressing any opinion on the merits of the case.
Impugned communication: The impugned communication in question was a letter dated 21.12.2018 from the respondent to the petitioner, requesting the reversal of a wrongly credited amount of Rs. 26,60,637 along with interest and compliance report submission. The Revenue Counsel stated that this communication was advisory in nature due to recent implementation of GST laws and mentioned the issuance of a Show Cause Notice (SCN) under Section 73 of the CGST Act for further proceedings.
Show Cause Notice: The Revenue Counsel assured the court that a formal SCN would be issued within four weeks from the date of the court order. The court directed that the implementation of paragraph-3 of the impugned communication, requesting the reversal of the credited amount, be kept on hold until the SCN process is completed to avoid rendering subsequent actions futile. Consequently, the court disposed of the writ petition with no costs awarded, and closed the related miscellaneous petitions.
