of <h1>Court orders extension for GST Tran-1 filing to protect credits, mandates fair consideration.</h1> <h3>Shivalik Distribution Pvt Ltd Versus Union Of India And 5 Others</h3> Shivalik Distribution Pvt Ltd Versus Union Of India And 5 Others - TMI Issues:1. Writ of mandamus sought to direct the GST council to extend the time period for filing GST Tran-1.2. Allegation of non-response by the electronic system of respondent no.2 causing potential loss of entitled credit.3. Grant of benefit limited to CENVAT credit, excluding input tax credit on U.P. VAT.4. Direction for reopening the portal or manual processing of GST TRAN-1 if portal not reopened.5. Provision for payment of taxes using the regular electronic system.Analysis:1. The petitioner requested a writ of mandamus to compel the GST council to recommend extending the filing time for GST Tran-1 due to incomplete processing on the last date. The court acknowledged the petitioner's concern regarding potential loss of entitled credit and directed the respondents to act accordingly.2. The petitioner alleged that despite multiple attempts, the electronic system of respondent no.2 did not respond, leading to a risk of losing the entitled credit over time. The court recognized this claim and ordered the reopening of the portal within two weeks or manual processing of the petitioner's GST TRAN-1 if the portal remains closed.3. Notably, the benefit granted was restricted to CENVAT credit, omitting the input tax credit on U.P. VAT. This discrepancy was highlighted, emphasizing the need for a comprehensive consideration of all eligible credits to avoid any unjust exclusion.4. In response to the petitioner's predicament, the court directed the respondents to reopen the portal promptly. Failure to do so would necessitate manual processing of the GST TRAN-1, ensuring the petitioner's entitlement to the claimed credits after due verification.5. Additionally, the court instructed that the petitioner should be allowed to pay taxes using the regular electronic system, maintaining the process for utilizing the credit relevant to the petitioner's case. The respondents were given a deadline to comply with the directives, and a subsequent hearing was scheduled for further proceedings.
