Issues: Whether the mandatory pre-deposit for filing an appeal under the CGST regime can be satisfied by utilisation of credit in the Electronic Credit Ledger, and whether the rejection of the appeal for alleged non-compliance was sustainable.
Analysis: The records showed that the pre-deposit requirement had in fact been complied with by utilising credit in the Electronic Credit Ledger. The view that the mandatory pre-deposit could be made only by cash payment was treated as contrary to the settled position and the reasoning adopted in an earlier decision of the same Court. On that basis, the rejection of the appeal for want of pre-deposit was not sustained.
Conclusion: The requirement of pre-deposit was held to have been duly satisfied through the Electronic Credit Ledger, and the appeal was restored to the Appellate Authority for decision on merits.
