GST Registration Cancellation Quashed: Authorities Failed to Send Electronic Notice as Required Under Rule 68
The HC allowed the writ petition of a GST registration holder who defaulted in filing returns, quashing orders dated 26.06.2021 and 28.09.2019. The Court found that authorities failed to comply with Rule 68 of CGST Rules by sending postal notice instead of the mandated electronic notice. Emphasizing the importance of following prescribed statutory procedures, the HC directed the Authority to reconsider the petitioner's case after proper compliance with Rule 68, noting that orders passed without adhering to specified procedures are impermissible.
Issues:
1. Validity of order dated 26.06.2021 passed by respondent no. 2 2. Validity of order dated 28.09.2019 passed by respondent no. 1 3. Compliance with Rule 68 of the Central Goods and Services Tax Rules, 2017
Analysis:
1. The petitioner, a GST registration holder, defaulted in filing returns leading to a show cause notice and subsequent order. The petitioner challenged the orders dated 26.06.2021 and 28.09.2019. The High Court noted that Rule 68 of the CGST Rules mandates electronic notice issuance to non-filers. However, the State admitted to sending a postal notice instead of the required electronic notice as per Rule 68.
2. The High Court emphasized the importance of following prescribed procedures in legislative enactments. It ruled that passing orders without adhering to the specified procedure is impermissible. In this case, the impugned orders were issued without the electronic notice required by Rule 68, violating the statutory provision.
3. Consequently, the High Court allowed the writ petition, quashed the orders dated 26.06.2021 and 28.09.2019, and directed the concerned Authority to comply with Rule 68. The Court instructed a reconsideration of the petitioner's case in accordance with the law, emphasizing the necessity of following statutory procedures for fair adjudication.
This comprehensive analysis covers the issues of validity of orders, compliance with statutory rules, and the Court's direction for reconsideration based on proper adherence to procedural requirements.
