Construction Project Profiteering Case Dismissed After Single Project Investigation Under Section 171 of CGST Act
The SC reviewed a case involving alleged profiteering by a respondent in construction projects. After DGAP investigation confirmed only one project ('U-Faria') was executed, the Commission determined no additional profiteering occurred. The proceedings were dropped, finding Section 171 of CGST Act, 2017 inapplicable, and the case file was closed without cost.
Issues involved: The issues involved in this case are related to profiteering by the Respondent in projects other than the 'U-Faria' project, as investigated by the Director General of Anti-Profiteering (DGAP) and the National Anti-profiteering Authority (NM).
Summary: The DGAP's Investigation Report revealed that the Respondent had profiteered an amount while executing the 'U-Faria' project, which was required to be passed on to the shop buyers. The NM determined the profiteered amount and ordered the Respondent to pass on the benefit. Additionally, the NM directed the DGAP to investigate profiteering in relation to other projects executed by the Respondent under the same GST registration. In response, the DGAP submitted a report stating that the Respondent had not undertaken any other construction project except 'U-Faria', which had already been investigated and profiteering determined. Therefore, the provisions of Section 171 of the CGST Act, 2017 were not applicable in this case.
The Competition Commission carefully considered the DGAP's report and other material, confirming that no other projects were executed by the Respondent except 'U-Faria'. This fact was corroborated by the UP RERA website and the reply of the Commissioner State Tax UP. Consequently, the Commission found that Section 171 of the CGST Act, 2017 did not apply to the other projects of the Respondent, leading to the proceedings being dropped against the Respondent.
The Commission ordered that a copy of this decision be provided to the Respondent and the DGAP at no cost, and the case file be closed upon completion.
