Court Orders Submission of GST TRAN-2 Return Amid Portal Glitches
The Court directed the authorities to enable the petitioner, a private limited company, to submit the GST TRAN-2 return electronically or manually to claim input tax credit benefits, considering technical glitches on the GST portal. Instructions were issued to address the petitioner's grievances promptly and facilitate filing within a specified timeframe to prevent loss of legitimate benefits, emphasizing fair treatment for taxpayers facing electronic filing challenges.
Issues: 1. Non-acceptance of GST TRAN-2 return by the Commissioner. 2. Challenge against non-acceptance of GST TRAN-2 return from July 2017 onwards. 3. Allegations of glitches in the GST portal affecting filing of returns. 4. Dispute over the petitioner's efforts to upload data and claim input tax credit. 5. Instructions from authorities regarding filing of requisite declarations. 6. Concerns over technical glitches affecting electronic filing of returns. 7. Disposal of the petition with directions for filing returns electronically or manually.
Analysis: 1. The petitioner challenged the act of the Commissioner for not allowing the submission of GST TRAN-2 return, which was earlier directed by the Court to be facilitated either electronically or manually. The petitioner, a private limited company, faced difficulties in submitting the form related to Part-7A, essential for claiming input tax credit.
2. The petitioner's grievance stemmed from the non-acceptance of the TRAN-2 return by the GST portal, despite proper filing of TRAN-1. The Court acknowledged the technical issues with the portal and directed the authorities to enable the petitioner to submit the form electronically or manually to avoid depriving them of legitimate benefits.
3. The authorities contended that the petitioner failed to provide correct information in TRAN-1 and did not revise it within the stipulated time frame. However, the matter was forwarded for consideration to higher authorities for possible amendments. Instructions highlighted the challenge of re-opening the portal for manual declarations due to technical glitches.
4. The Court emphasized that technical glitches should not disadvantage individuals or firms reliant on electronic filing. The petitioner's willingness to file electronically was hindered by portal malfunctions, prompting the Court to direct the authorities to address the issue promptly to prevent the petitioner's loss of input tax credit.
5. The Court instructed the GST Council to examine the petitioner's grievances and facilitate the filing of returns, either electronically or manually, within a specified timeframe. This directive aimed to ensure that the petitioner received the entitled benefits without being unduly burdened by technical obstacles.
6. The judgment concluded with directions for the GST Council to address the petitioner's concerns promptly and allow for the filing of requisite forms within a specified period. The disposal of the petition signified the Court's commitment to resolving disputes related to electronic filing challenges and ensuring fair treatment for taxpayers seeking input tax credit benefits.
