F. No.S41(Misc.)-24/2017 CCX - 09-01-2018 Customs
Reply to the application (received in this section on 28.12.2017) of Shri R. Stephen, no. 44/52, Anna Street, K. K. Thazhai, MMC, Madhavram, Chennai-600 051. Tamilnadu seeking information under the Right to Information Act 2005-reg.
Show AI Summary
Finished leather classification and CLRI testing determine export licensing and duty applicability; appeal available within thirty days.
The reply confirms prior provision of item-wise shipping bill numbers and states that items listed under the DGFT public notice constitute finished leather exportable without licence; new types require CLRI testing and certification. To prevent misclassification, consignments are sampled with CLRI, tested, and LEO issued only after NOC from CLRI or a leather expert, which negates applicability of the claimed duty. An administrative appeal may be filed within 30 days.

Restrictions of refund of unutilized input tax credit of GST paid on inputs to manufacturer exporters of fabrics
Show AI Summary
Refund of unutilized input tax credit: manufacturers exporting fabrics eligible for refunds excluding capital goods credit.
Section 54(3) allows refund of unutilized input tax credit for zero rated supplies or where input tax exceeds output tax, but a notification under the proviso restricts refunds for certain specified goods. That restriction does not apply to zero rated supplies, so, subject to section 54(10), manufacturers exporting the specified fabrics may claim refund of unutilized input tax credit on inputs used in manufacture, excluding input tax credit on capital goods.
Circular No.C5/2018/GST - 09-01-2018 GST - States
Due date for generation of FORM GSTR-2A and FORM GSTR-1A in accordance with the extension of due date for filing FORM GSTR-1 and GSTR-2 respectively
Show AI Summary
Extension of GSTR-2A and GSTR-1A generation deadlines aligns electronic invoice exchange with extended GSTR-1/GSTR-2 filing.
Details furnished by suppliers in FORM GSTR-1 are made available electronically to recipients in FORM GSTR-2A after the due date for filing FORM GSTR-1; FORM GSTR-2A is a read-only electronic record that recipients may use to verify, validate, modify or delete entries before preparing and furnishing FORM GSTR-2. Because the filing dates for FORM GSTR-1 and FORM GSTR-2 were extended, the availability and due date for FORM GSTR-2A is likewise extended. Modifications in FORM GSTR-2 are communicated to suppliers in FORM GSTR-1A and suppliers must accept or reject them within the prescribed window, which is also extended accordingly.
