Court Removes Attachment on Bank Accounts, Maintains Attachment on Properties
The court ordered the removal of the provisional attachment on the Union Bank of India and Canara Bank current accounts, while maintaining the attachment on the two immovable properties. This decision aimed to balance the interests of the parties involved while ensuring the protection of the Revenue's claim.
Issues: 1. Interpretation of provisions under the Central Goods and Services Tax Act, 2017 regarding provisional attachment of assets. 2. Impact of recent amendments to Section 83 of the Central Goods and Services Tax Act, 2017. 3. Assessment of the petitioner's liability to pay tax, interest, and penalty.
Detailed Analysis:
1. The petitioner relied on a Supreme Court decision in M/s. Radha Krishan Industries vs. State of Himachal Pradesh and Others, AIR 2021 SC 2114, arguing that the provisional attachment under Section 83 of the Central Goods and Services Tax Act, 2017 should be lifted since an appeal had been filed under Section 107 and the required pre-deposit had been made. However, the respondent highlighted that Section 83 had been amended by the Finance Act, 2021, and requested time to verify the effective date of the amendment. The court scheduled the matter for further hearing on 30th July 2021.
2. Despite the above, the court considered the respondent's submission that the petitioner firm was liable to pay a total of Rs. 1,09,61,102 in tax, interest, and penalty. The department had already attached movable and immovable properties totaling Rs. 75,48,541, including two bank accounts with balances of Rs. 4,16,050 and Rs. 5,386, and two immovable properties valued at Rs. 55,37,123 and Rs. 15,89,982. The court found that the Revenue's interest would still be substantially protected even if the provisional attachment of the two bank accounts was lifted. The petitioner had already deposited the required amount for filing the appeal under Section 107 of the Act.
3. Consequently, without delving into the merits of other issues in the petition, the court ordered the removal of the provisional attachment on the Union Bank of India and Canara Bank current accounts, while maintaining the attachment on the two immovable properties. The decision aimed to balance the interests of the parties involved while ensuring the protection of the Revenue's claim.
