GST applicability on uncleared cargo: bid amounts are cum-duty and no extra sums beyond the bid may be demanded. Clearance of UCC cargo is effected by the custodian filing a Bill of Entry in the bidder's name, with customs duty and IGST assessed and paid by the custodian in that name. The sale proceeds are the cum-duty value because the duty portion is appropriated from the bid amount under the statutory appropriation mechanism. No amount beyond the bid value is demandable from the highest bidder; any additional taxes may be paid from the balance retained by the custodian, who must follow the appropriation procedure.
