GST Registration Cancellation Overturned: Order Modified to Ensure Procedural Fairness and Proper Reasoning
HC found the retrospective GST registration cancellation improper due to lack of proper reasoning and notice. The court modified the cancellation order, directing registration be cancelled from the notice date instead of retrospectively. Respondents retained rights to recover taxes and penalties through legal mechanisms, while ensuring procedural fairness for the petitioner.
Issues involved: The issues involved in this case are the retrospective cancellation of GST registration and the lack of proper reasoning and notice in the cancellation process.
Retrospective Cancellation of GST Registration: The petitioner challenged the order cancelling their GST registration retrospectively from 15.07.2017, citing lack of reasons and contradictory statements in the order. The Show Cause Notice did not inform the petitioner about the retrospective cancellation, depriving them of the opportunity to object. The court noted that registration cannot be cancelled with a retrospective effect mechanically and must be based on objective criteria, not merely due to non-filing of returns for a period. The consequences of retrospective cancellation, such as denial of input tax credit to customers, should be considered before such a decision is made.
Lack of Proper Reasoning and Notice: The impugned order and Show Cause Notice lacked details and reasons for the retrospective cancellation, making them unsustainable. The petitioner, no longer interested in continuing the business due to ill health, sought revocation of the cancellation, which was rejected based on failure to reply to a notice. The court modified the order to cancel the registration from the date of the Show Cause Notice issuance, requiring the petitioner to comply with the necessary provisions. The respondents were not precluded from taking steps for recovery of any tax, penalty, or interest due in accordance with the law, including retrospective cancellation of GST registration.
