Tax Credit Dispute Resolved: Assessment Order Quashed, Two-Week Response Window Granted for ITC Discrepancy Review
HC quashed the assessment order challenging Input Tax Credit (ITC) discrepancies, remanding the matter for reconsideration. The petitioner was granted two weeks to respond to the show cause notice, with the assessing officer directed to issue a fresh order. The bank attachment notice was lifted, with the appropriated amount subject to reassessment proceedings.
Issues involved: Challenge to assessment order and bank attachment notice.
Assessment Order Challenge: The petitioner, engaged in the supply business, claimed Input Tax Credit (ITC) in his return, but the auto-populated return showed a higher amount. Counsel argued that the conclusion of wrongly availed ITC was incorrect. The petitioner had remitted the due amounts, and the order was deemed to lack proper consideration, leading to interference. The assessment order was quashed, and the matter remanded for reconsideration. The petitioner was granted two weeks to respond to the show cause notice, with the assessing officer directed to issue a fresh assessment order within two months.
Bank Attachment Notice Challenge: The Government Advocate contended that the petitioner was duly served the intimation and notice. However, upon review, it was found that the petitioner had actually paid the due amounts, rendering the attachment notice unjustified. Consequently, the attachment notice to recover the tax demand was lifted, and the appropriated amount was subject to the outcome of the reassessment proceedings.
Conclusion: The High Court quashed the assessment order, remanded the matter for reconsideration, allowed the petitioner to respond to the show cause notice, and directed a fresh assessment order to be issued. The bank attachment notice was lifted, and the appropriated amount was tied to the reassessment outcome. The writ petitions were disposed of with no order as to costs.
