Supplier's GSTIN Misrepresentation Invalidates Tax Credit Disallowance, Petitioner Granted Opportunity to Rectify Discrepancy under Rule 86
HC ruled in favor of petitioner, quashing the assessment order disallowing Input Tax Credit (ITC). The court found a supplier's GSTIN misrepresentation erroneously impacted the petitioner's tax credit. The order was remanded for reassessment, directing the assessing officer to issue a fresh order within two months and provide the petitioner an opportunity to rectify the discrepancy.
Issues involved: The disallowance of Input Tax Credit (ITC) claimed by the petitioner due to discrepancies between the petitioner's return and GSTR-2A return.
Summary: The petitioner, a registered person under GST laws, challenged an assessment order disallowing claimed ITC based on discrepancies in returns. The petitioner clarified that an invoice was wrongly attributed to a sister concern by the supplier, Kirthi Enterprises. The petitioner's counsel highlighted the error in the supplier's return and argued for interference in the assessment order.
The respondent, represented by the learned Additional Government Pleader, suggested rectification proceedings for the supplier's error. The Court observed that the supplier's return and invoice indicated the misrepresentation of GSTIN, potentially unjustly depriving the petitioner of ITC. Consequently, the Court quashed the assessment order, remanding the matter for reassessment by providing the petitioner with a reasonable opportunity for redressal.
The Court directed the assessing officer to issue a fresh assessment order within two months, allowing the petitioner a personal hearing. Moreover, the petitioner was granted the option to file a petition to correct the error. The case was disposed of with no costs incurred, and related petitions were closed accordingly.
