Judicial Order Validates GST Registration Restoration Under Rule 86B, Prioritizing Business Continuity and Minimal Technical Noncompliance
HC ruled in favor of petitioner, directing restoration of GST registration after finding compliance with Rule 86B requirements. Despite respondents' arguments about technical deposit method and listing as potential fake firm, court emphasized minimal statutory violation and potential business harm. Order permits future statutory proceedings while mandating immediate registration reinstatement.
Issues: 1. Petition for restoration of GST registration. 2. Suspension of GST registration due to non-compliance with Rule 86B of CGST Rules/DGST Rules. 3. Payment of 1% of liability on outward supplies. 4. Allegation of petitioner's name being included in a list of fake firms.
Analysis: The petitioner filed a petition seeking the restoration of their GST registration under the trade name "Shri Salasar Balaji Steel." The petitioner was registered under the CGST Act/DGST Act and was assigned GSTIN registration number 07AZTPG3566F1Z2. The issue arose when a Show Cause Notice (SCN) was issued proposing to cancel the petitioner's GST registration for violating Rule 86B of the CGST Rules/DGST Rules, which restricts the use of electronic credit ledger to discharge tax liability beyond 99% in certain cases.
The petitioner responded to the SCN by depositing a sum of Rs. 80,000, claiming compliance with the requirement of paying at least 1% of its liability on outward supplies. The respondents argued that the amount was deposited through a challan and not the requisite form, FORM DRC-03. Additionally, they cited the petitioner's name being listed as a fake firm as a reason for not revoking the suspension of GST registration.
The court emphasized the adverse impact of GST registration suspension on a taxpayer's business and noted that the only allegation in the SCN was non-compliance with Rule 86B, which was rectified by the petitioner's deposit. The court directed the respondents to restore the petitioner's GST registration promptly. However, it clarified that this order did not prevent the respondents from taking further action for statutory violations or recovery of dues in accordance with the law.
In conclusion, the court disposed of the petition by ordering the restoration of the petitioner's GST registration while allowing for future statutory proceedings or actions by the respondents if necessary.
