Composition scheme withdrawal and denial determine normal-tax liability, retrospective recovery proceedings, and input tax credit eligibility.
Composition levy remains available only while a registered person satisfies the statutory and rule-based conditions. Voluntary withdrawal takes effect from the date specified in FORM GST CMP-04, but cannot precede the commencement of the financial year in which the intimation is filed. Denial may take effect from a determined retrospective date, but not earlier than the date of contravention. Where composition is retrospectively denied, proceedings for determination of tax, interest and penalty apply from the contravention date until issuance of FORM GST CMP-07.

GST compliance clarifications govern government sales, late-return penalties, transitional notes, TDS eligibility, TCS valuation, and transport ownership.
Intra-State and inter-State supplies of used vehicles, seized or confiscated goods, old and used goods, waste and scrap by government bodies are taxable. Supplies to registered persons are subject to reverse charge, while supplies to unregistered persons require the government supplier to register and pay GST, subject to registration provisions. Penalty for delayed GSTR-3B filing is not payable under section 73(11) where tax and interest are paid late, although a general penalty may be imposed after due process.

Tax collection at source requires separate collection from tea producers and auctioneers based on their respective net supplies.
Tax collection at source applies to the Tea Board of India as an electronic tea-auction operator collecting and settling auction payments through an escrow account. The Tea Board must collect tax separately from tea producers on the net value of tea supplied and from auctioneers on the net value of brokerage services supplied. The consolidated buyer payment does not alter the separate treatment of goods supplied by producers and brokerage services supplied by auctioneers.

Del-credere agency under GST depends on invoicing, while credit interest is valued according to agency status.
Del-credere agency under Schedule I of the TNGST Act depends on invoicing. Where the supplier invoices the customer directly or through the del-credere agent, the agent is not within the relevant principal-agent arrangement; where the agent invoices in its own name, it is. A loan extended by a non-agent del-credere agent to the buyer is an independent supply, and its interest is excluded from the principal's value of goods. Where the agent supplies goods onward, credit interest is subsumed in and included in the value of that goods supply.

Return of expired medicines under GST permits fresh supply or credit-note treatment, with distinct input-tax-credit consequences.
GST treatment of time-expired medicines permits either a fresh-supply route or a credit-note route. Under fresh supply, a registered non-composition taxpayer issues an invoice and the recipient may claim input tax credit subject to statutory conditions. Under the credit-note route, tax liability may be adjusted only within the prescribed period where the returning person has not availed, or has reversed, input tax credit. Different input tax credit reversal requirements apply where returned goods are destroyed.

Casual taxable person registration permits advance-tax calculation after eligible input tax credit, while excess ISD credit remains recoverable.
Advance tax for casual taxable person registration is calculated on estimated net tax liability after eligible input tax credit. Exhibitions exceeding 180 days require normal taxable person registration, supported by an allotment or consent letter as place-of-business proof, without an advance tax deposit. Excess input tax credit improperly distributed by an Input Service Distributor is recoverable from recipient units with applicable interest and penalty. Recipients may voluntarily pay through FORM GST DRC-03; otherwise, recovery proceedings may be initiated using FORM GST DRC-07.

GST refund claims after deficiency memos must be rectified using the original ARN without electronic-credit-ledger re-credit.
GST refund claims subject to a deficiency memo in FORM GST RFD-03 must, pending portal functionality, be rectified and resubmitted under the original ARN. Re-credit of input tax credit to the electronic credit ledger through FORM GST RFD-01B is not required, and jurisdictional tax authorities must accept the rectified claim under that ARN. Separate treatment is contemplated where re-credit has already occurred.

Revocation of cancelled GST registration: one-time opportunity to apply subject to furnishing pending returns and subsequent filings.
Applications for revocation of cancellation of registration under section 29(2) are permitted only after all returns due up to the date of cancellation are furnished and amounts paid; where cancellation is retrospective and the portal prevents post cancellation filing, an application may nonetheless be filed provided all returns for the period from the effective date of cancellation to the revocation order are filed within thirty days of the revocation order.

Utilization of input tax credit requires Integrated tax credit to be exhausted first, then apportioned towards other tax liabilities.
Amendments require that the input tax credit of Integrated tax be exhausted completely before any input tax credit of Central tax or State/Union territory tax may be utilized; thereafter Integrated tax credit may be apportioned in any order and proportion towards Central and State/Union territory liabilities. The Board clarifies that the common portal will continue pre-amendment functionality until updated, advises issuance of trade notices, and invites reporting of implementation difficulties.

Utilization of IGST input tax credit must be exhausted before using Central or State tax credits; portal unchanged temporarily.
Credit on account of integrated tax must be completely exhausted before any input tax credit of central tax or state/union territory tax is utilised; the newly inserted rule permits integrated tax credit to be applied towards central and state/union territory tax in any order or proportion provided the entire integrated tax credit is first exhausted, and taxpayers may continue to follow existing common portal functionality until it is updated.

Cancellation of GST registration: one-time revocation window permitted subject to furnishing outstanding returns within prescribed timelines.
Registration cancelled for failure to furnish specified returns may be revoked only after outstanding returns are furnished and amounts paid; where cancellation is from the order date, returns up to cancellation must be filed before application and returns from cancellation to revocation must be filed within thirty days of revocation. For retrospective cancellations where the portal blocks filing, a proviso allows revocation applications provided returns for the period from the effective cancellation date to revocation are filed within thirty days of the revocation order.

Paperless duty credit scrips: electronic transmission to Customs and ICES-only debiting for EDI-registered scrips.
DGFT has phased out physical MEIS/SEIS duty credit scrips for EDI-registered ports, transmitting such scrips electronically to Customs and making them visible in ICES; owners or authorised representatives must provide scrip identifiers for registration, assessment and debiting, with ownership verified via the DGFT website. Debits will be made only in ICES, no TRA will be issued for paperless scrips (thus they cannot be used at non-EDI ports), and DGFT will continue issuing physical scrips for non-EDI ports with TRA facility intact. Central Excise procedures were amended accordingly.

Automated Out of Charge queuing requires online Bill of Entry registration; upload documents and follow SUP activation procedures.
Automated queuing in ICES 1.5 places Bills of Entry before the SUP-role superintendent for Out of Charge on a FIFO basis once importers or customs brokers register online; physical presentation for registration at RMS is generally dispensed with. Exceptions: first-check BsE must be mapped to CFS/custodian by shed officers, certain query-reply workflows were fixed so importers can respond via Service Centre, AEO BsE receive prioritization, and facilitated BsE misrouting after suspicious scans has been corrected by ensuring CFS codes are entered at INS submission or SUP activation. Trade must upload supporting documents to e-sanchit, monitor container scan status, and approach RMS or CFS officers only where specified.

Change of shareholding approvals conditioned on continuity, eligibility, tax assessment and mandatory PAN reporting to revenue authorities.
The Board approved multiple extensions, conditional approvals and shareholding changes subject to continuity of SEZ activities, fulfilment of eligibility and security clearances, compliance with Revenue and company rules on capital transfers and taxability, immediate furnishing of financial details to Member (IT), CBDT and jurisdictional authorities, recognition of the Assessing Officer's right to assess taxability of gains from transfers or mergers under the Income Tax Act, and provision of PAN and jurisdictional assessing officer details to CBDT.

Paperless duty credit scrips: electronic MEIS/SEIS scrips transmitted to Customs and usable only at EDI ports.
Physical MEIS/SEIS duty credit scrips issued for EDI ports are being phased out and replaced by electronic transmission from DGFT to ICES. Scrip details and ownership information will be accessible online for verification; debits will be made and verified in ICES without physical presentation. Paperless scrips issued for EDI ports will not have TRA issuance and cannot be used at non EDI ports, while physical scrips will continue to be issued for non EDI ports with TRA facility.

Profit attribution to permanent establishments: propose Rule 10 amendments to apportion profits by sales, employees, assets and users.
The Committee recommends amending Rule 10 to prescribe objective apportionment formulas for profits attributable to a PE: a three factor apportionment (equal weight to sales, employees/wages and assets) with "profits derived from India" computed as India revenue x global operational (EBITDA) margin subject to a 2% revenue floor; and, where users materially contribute (SEP), a four factor formula including users with weights of 10% (low/medium intensity) or 20% (high intensity), with deductions for profits already taxed in India in the hands of associated resident enterprises.
