High Court ruling on refund under GST Acts, petitioner advised to apply for interest separately.
The High Court acknowledged the refund of the principal amount claimed by the petitioner under the Integrated Goods and Services Tax Act and Central Goods and Services Tax Act. The court noted the petitioner's request for interest payment but closed the writ petition as the petitioner had not formally applied for interest. The petitioner was directed to pursue the interest claim before the appropriate authorities, with instructions to consider the claim in accordance with the law upon submission. The court disposed of the petition without costs.
Issues: Refund of Integrated Goods and Services Tax under various sections of the GST Act, Claim for interest on the refunded amount.
Analysis: The petitioner, a sole-proprietorship concern engaged in exporting goods to neighbouring countries, claimed a refund of Integrated Goods and Services Tax amounting to a specific sum paid on goods exported from India. The petitioner contended that the entire amount paid as customs was refundable under relevant sections of the Integrated Goods and Services Tax Act, 2017, and Central Goods and Services Tax Act, 2017. Despite filing necessary papers and applications for refund, the Department did not process the refund, leading the petitioner to file a writ petition before the High Court.
Subsequently, upon issuance of a notice by the court, the Department initiated the refund process and refunded the principal amount claimed by the petitioner. However, the petitioner also sought payment of interest at a rate of 6% on the principal amount, which the Department had not addressed. The court noted that the petitioner had not formally applied for interest payment but had raised the issue in the writ petition.
After hearing both parties, the court acknowledged that the principal amount had been refunded to the petitioner. As the petitioner had not formally applied for interest payment, the court closed the writ petition, allowing the petitioner to pursue the claim for interest before the appropriate authorities. The petitioner was directed to provide a copy of the court order along with the interest claim to be filed before the authorities. The court instructed the authorities to consider the claim for interest in accordance with the law upon submission of the application by the petitioner.
Ultimately, the court closed and disposed of the writ petition without any cost implications.
