Court sets aside refund rejection orders under CGST Act for lack of detailed reasons, remands for fresh consideration.
The Court set aside the rejection orders of the refund claims under Section 54 of the CGST Act, 2017, due to lack of detailed reasons for disallowance, deeming them non-speaking orders. The matter was remanded to the respondent for fresh consideration, allowing the petitioner to submit fresh objections within 15 days. The respondent was directed to provide a personal hearing and pass appropriate orders within 60 days, emphasizing the need for reasoned decisions in refund applications. All Writ Petitions were disposed of without costs.
Issues: Challenge to rejection of refund claims under Section 54 of the CGST Act, 2017 based on non-speaking orders.
Analysis: The petitioner exported Knitwear and Knitted Fabric, seeking refund of Input Tax Credit (ITC) under Section 54 of the CGST Act, 2017 for the periods of July to November 2017, as zero-rated supplies. The rejection of the petitioner's claims through five orders was challenged in the Writ Petitions. The main contention raised was that the rejection orders lacked reasons for inadmissibility of the refund, rendering them non-speaking orders.
The Court noted that the rejection orders merely cited Section 54(8)(a) without providing detailed reasons for disallowing the refund. It emphasized that authorities must pass reasoned orders when considering refund applications. Despite the petitioner's objections to the notices issued by the respondent, those objections were not addressed before the final decision was made, making the orders non-speaking and subject to being set aside.
Consequently, the Court set aside the impugned orders and remanded the matter back to the respondent for fresh consideration. The petitioner was granted the opportunity to submit fresh objections within 15 days, which the respondent must consider along with providing a personal hearing. The respondent was directed to pass appropriate orders expeditiously, within 60 days of receiving the petitioner's objections, ensuring justice is served. All Writ Petitions were disposed of with no costs imposed.
