Place of supply determined as foreign destination makes transportation services inter-state and IGST credit claimable subject to input credit conditions.
When both supplier and recipient are in India but goods are transported to a place outside India, the place of supply is the foreign destination; the supply is an inter-State supply attracting integrated tax, and the recipient in India may claim input tax credit of that integrated tax subject to the statutory eligibility and apportionment/blocked-credit conditions. The supplier must report the place of supply as foreign in the outward supplies return.

The CBDT extends time for taxpayers to complete investments, deposits, payments, acquisitions, purchases, construction or other actions required to claim exemptions under Sections 54 to 54GB of the Income-tax Act, 1961 where the last date of such compliance fell between 1 April 2021 and 28 February 2022, permitting completion on or before 31 March 2023 under its power under Section 119.

Issuers must enter details of existing outstanding non-convertible securities into the Security and Covenant Monitoring system by the revised deadline, and Debenture Trustees must verify those entries by the revised verification deadline. Debenture Trustees must submit fortnightly progress reports on issuer data entry and verification status, with each report furnished within five days after the end of the fortnight. The timeline adjustments respond to operational and technical difficulties with the Distributed Ledger Technology-based system and amend earlier operating guidelines.

Security and covenant monitoring requires depositories to perform quarterly compliance checks and report instances of noncompliance to regulator.
Depositories must periodically monitor compliance with SEBI circulars on the Security & Covenant Monitoring System using Distributed Ledger Technology, identify non compliance by issuers, debenture trustees, credit rating agencies and other stakeholders, and submit quarterly reports to the regulator in the prescribed format containing ISIN, stakeholders' compliance status, reference to relevant provisions, reasons for non compliance and date or expected date of compliance; the reporting regime is made operable from the circular's applicability date under the regulator's statutory powers.

Pre-shipment inspection: mandatory inspector photographs and upload requirement, PSIC verifiable by issuing IP address for agencies.
Amendments require inspectors to be physically present for pre-shipment inspections and to capture specified photographs: an inspector with an empty container showing the container number on a single closed door, the same inspector with the sealed container showing the same container number, and the inspection instrument with the container seal showing instrument serial and seal numbers.

No Claim Bonus under GST clarified as an admissible pre-disclosed discount reducing taxable insurance premium.
NCB granted by insurers is not consideration from the insured for refraining from claims. Where NCB is pre-disclosed in the policy and shown in the invoice, it qualifies as an admissible discount under clause (a) of sub section (3) of section 15 of the KGST Act and may be deducted from gross premium; GST is leviable on the premium payable after deduction of the NCB recorded in the invoice. The e invoicing exemption in the cited notification applies to the exempted entity as a whole for all its supplies.

Limitation on GST redetermination: officer must recompute tax within prescribed time and confined to timely-issued notices.
Where an appellate authority or court directs that a fraud-based show cause notice be treated as an ordinary-demand notice, the proper officer must re-determine tax, interest and penalty in accordance with the ordinary-demand provisions, issue the redetermination order within two years of communication of the appellate direction, and confine recomputation to amounts for which the original show cause was issued within the ordinary-demand limitation period; amounts outside that limitation must be dropped as time-barred.

Input Tax Credit discrepancies: procedures to verify ITC claims where GSTR-3B exceeds GSTR-2A, requiring documentary certification.
Clarification directs that discrepancies between ITC claimed in Form GSTR-3B and amounts in Form GSTR-2A for FY 2017 18 and 2018 19 arising from supplier reporting errors be examined by the proper officer for fulfilment of ITC eligibility: possession of tax invoice, receipt of goods or services, payment of value and tax, timeliness, and any required reversals. Verification of supplier tax payment requires a UDIN bearing certificate from a Chartered or Cost Accountant in larger cases, or a supplier certificate in smaller cases. The guidance is case specific, limited to bona fide errors and ongoing proceedings for the two years.

Correction of statutory reference: Uttar Pradesh GST Act should replace Central GST Act in the earlier circular.
The corrigendum rectifies Computer Circular No. 2223067 dated 02-01-2023 by replacing the incorrect reference to the Central Goods and Services Tax Act, 2017 in the second line of the subject with the Uttar Pradesh Goods and Services Tax Act, 2017, and declares that the amended reading is effective from the original circular's date.

No Claim Bonus tax treatment clarified: NCB is not consideration and is deductible from premium when invoiced, affecting GST.
No Claim Bonus is not consideration from the insured to the insurer for refraining from claims. Where NCB is pre-disclosed and specifically stated on the invoice, it qualifies as a deductible discount under clause (a) of sub section (3) of section 15 of the TNGST Act, and GST is chargeable on the premium after deduction of NCB. The e invoicing exemption afforded by the cited Tamil Nadu notification applies to the entity as a whole and covers all supplies made by that entity.

Re-determination under section 75: proper officer must re-compute tax per section 73 within prescribed limitation periods.
When an appellate body deems a section 74 notice unsustainable and directs reclassification as a section 73 notice, the proper officer must issue the redetermination order within two years of communication of that direction and compute tax, interest and penalty by applying section 73(2) read with section 73(10); only amounts for which the original show cause notice was issued within the time permitted under section 73 can be re-determined, and amounts covered by notices issued beyond that limitation must be dropped.

SMF submissions on the FIRMS portal will be auto acknowledged and must be verified by Authorised Dealer Category I banks within five working days.

Communications and updates will be system generated and reflected on the portal.

Place of supply rules: transportation to foreign destination treated as foreign place of supply; IGST payable and ITC claimable.
Where transportation of goods by way of service is to a destination outside India and both supplier and recipient are located in India, the place of supply is the foreign destination. Such supply is an inter State supply and IGST is chargeable. The recipient located in India is eligible to claim input tax credit of the IGST charged subject to the conditions of sections 16 and 17 of the TNGST Act. Suppliers must report the place of supply in GSTR 1 using State code '96 Foreign Country'.

Input Tax Credit reconciliation: procedures to verify ITC claimed in GSTR 3B when not reflected in GSTR 2A, including documentary proof requirements.

To verify supplier tax payment, higher-value discrepancies require a CA/CMA certificate with UDIN, while lower-value discrepancies may be substantiated by a supplier declaration. Guidance applies to bona fide errors and ongoing proceedings only.
