Court rules in favor of manufacturing firm for GST transitional credit claim under Section 140 of CGST Act.
The Court found in favor of the writ applicant, a manufacturing firm, in their claim for transitional credit under Section 140 of the CGST Act. Despite the firm's timely submission of Form GST TRAN-1, technical glitches prevented the credit from reflecting in their electronic ledger. The Court noted the applicant's efforts to address the issue and directed the respondents to consider and act upon the claim within four weeks. The Court did not assess the eligibility of the credit but allowed the applicant to seek further recourse if needed.
Issues: Claim for transitional credit under Section 140(1) of the Central GST Act not reflected in electronic credit ledger due to technical glitches.
Analysis: The writ applicant, a manufacturing firm, sought transitional credit of &8377; 8,35,435 under Section 140 of the CGST Act, which was not reflected in their electronic credit ledger due to technical issues. The firm submitted Form GST TRAN-1 within the stipulated time limit, but it was not successfully uploaded. Despite multiple reminders and representations, the respondents did not address the issue, leading the applicant to approach the Court for relief.
The respondent authorities contended that the applicant failed to file TRAN-1 successfully within the prescribed time, resulting in the non-reflection of the eligible credit in the electronic ledger. They referred to the due date extensions provided for filing TRAN-1 and stated that the applicant's failure to submit the form electronically led to the non-reflection of the credit.
The Court noted that the applicant had indeed filed TRAN-1 electronically on time, but it was not uploaded successfully due to technical glitches. During an internal audit, it was discovered that the transitional credit was not reflected in the ledger. The Court observed that the respondents had not taken any action to resolve the issue despite the applicant's efforts and representations. The Court found no fault on the part of the applicant in claiming the credit.
Consequently, the Court disposed of the writ application by directing the respondents to consider and act upon the applicant's representation and decide on the claim for transitional credit within four weeks. The Court clarified that it had not assessed the eligibility of the credit claim and allowed the applicant to approach the Court in case of any difficulty. The Registry was instructed to communicate the order to the respective counsels for further action.
