Municipal Council Ordered to Deposit GST Amount Promptly, Enabling Input Credit Claim for Petitioner
HC ruled that Khopoli Municipal Council must deposit GST amount with tax authorities within two weeks, enabling petitioner to claim input credit. Court directed sympathetic consideration of potential interest and penalty, disposed of case with open contentions and no cost implications.
Issues involved: The petition challenges the failure of the Khopoli Municipal Council to deposit an amount paid by the petitioner towards Goods and Service Tax (GST).
Details of the judgment:
Issue 1: Failure to deposit GST amount: The petitioner, a Partnership Firm engaged in real estate construction, deposited an amount towards premium charges and GST with the Khopoli Municipal Council. Despite this, the Council failed to deposit the GST amount with the GST Authorities, resulting in the petitioner being unable to avail input credit. The petitioner sought direction for the Council to deposit the GST amount.
Issue 2: Court's direction and compliance: The Court directed the Khopoli Municipal Council to deposit the GST amount within two weeks, which was done by the Council. The Court then instructed the Council to deposit the amount with the GST Authorities as per the CGST and MGST Acts. The Council was given two weeks to provide bank account details for the transfer of the amount.
Issue 3: Interest liability and consideration: The respondent's counsel raised concerns about interest liability even in peculiar circumstances. The Court referred to a previous order and emphasized that in this case, the authorities should consider the petitioner's case sympathetically regarding interest and penalty. The Court directed the CGST and SGST Authorities to assess the petitioner's case compassionately in terms of interest and penalty.
Conclusion: The Court disposed of the case with the terms mentioned, allowing the petitioner to claim input credit upon the deposit made as permissible by law. All other contentions of the parties on different issues were kept open, and no costs were awarded in this matter.
