    Clarification regarding regularization of refund of IGST availed in contravention of rule 96(10) of the WBGST Rules, 2017, in cases where the exporters had imported certain inputs without payment of integrated taxes and compensation cess
    Show AI Summary
    Regularization of IGST refund: payment of IGST and compensation cess with interest and reassessment permits refund relief.
    Where inputs were initially imported under concessional customs notifications without payment of IGST and Compensation Cess, subsequent payment of IGST and Compensation Cess along with interest together with reassessment of the Bill of Entry by the jurisdictional Customs authority will mean that refund of IGST claimed on exports is not to be treated as contravening the bar in sub rule (10) of rule 96 of the WBGST Rules, in light of the retrospective Explanation clarifying that benefits are not deemed availed where IGST and Compensation Cess have been paid.
    Clarification on place of supply of data hosting services provided by service providers located in India to cloud computing service providers located outside India.
    Show AI Summary
    Place of supply: data hosting to overseas cloud providers is at the recipient, enabling export treatment.
    Data hosting supplied by an Indian data centre operator to overseas cloud computing providers is not an intermediary service, not a service in relation to goods made available by the recipient, and not a supply directly related to immovable property. The bundled, operational nature of data hosting-ownership and independent operation of premises, hardware, software, power, connectivity and security-means the place of supply defaults to the recipient's location; where the recipient is outside India the supply may be treated as export of services subject to export eligibility conditions.
    Clarification on availability of input tax credit in respect of demo vehicles
    Show AI Summary
    Input tax credit on demo vehicles allowed when used to promote further supply; blocked for staff transport or agency cases.
    Demo vehicles used by authorised dealers to provide trial runs and demonstrate features promote sale of similar motor vehicles and therefore constitute use for "further supply of such motor vehicles," so ITC on those demo vehicles is not blocked under clause (a) of section 17(5). If such vehicles are used for staff transport or where the dealer acts only as a marketing agent and does not supply the vehicle on his own account, ITC remains blocked. Capitalisation does not bar ITC, but claiming depreciation on the tax component disallows ITC on that component and disposal of capitalised demo vehicles attracts output tax adjustments.
    Clarification in respect of advertising services provided to foreign clients
    Show AI Summary
    Place of supply of advertising services: principal-to-principal deals treat recipient abroad, enabling export classification under default rule.
    Where an Indian advertising company contracts comprehensively with a foreign client and separately with media owners, it supplies services on its own account on a principal-to-principal basis and is not an intermediary; the recipient is the foreign client and the place of supply defaults to the recipient's location outside India, qualifying as export of services subject to export conditions. Conversely, where the agency merely facilitates a direct contract between foreign client and media owner and invoices only for facilitation, it is an intermediary and place of supply rules for intermediaries apply.
    Minutes of the 123rd meeting of the Board of Approval for SEZs held on 4th October, 2024 in Bangalore
    Show AI Summary
    Special Economic Zone approvals: extensions, item permissions, land de notification and procedural compliance ordered for operational oversight.
    The Board regularised and extended validity of Letters of Approval for SEZ units, directed DCs to investigate state level delays affecting LoAs, approved specified restricted refrigerants for IT/ITES SEZ operations and authorised export of certain sandalwood products subject to export only conditions and Customs checks, recommended partial de notification of SEZ land, deferred a revival and transfer proposal pending verification of dues and court approved revival alignment, permitted conversion of processing built up area to non processing under Rule 11B, and accepted surrender of a Formal Approval subject to No Objection.
    Systemic improvement with respect to mapping / de-mapping of the officers on the GSTN portal
    Show AI Summary
    GSTN portal mapping and de-mapping controls tightened to ensure immediate removal of relieved officers and accountability in supervision.
    Systemic improvement is directed for mapping and de-mapping of officers on the GSTN portal to prevent continued portal access after an officer has been relieved from charge. The instruction requires immediate de-mapping on execution of the GFR-33, supervisory monitoring by senior officers, submission of compliance reports within the prescribed time, and clear responsibility and accountability of the officers concerned with mapping and un-mapping on the GSTN portal.
    Clarification on place of supply of data hosting services provided by service providers located in India to cloud computing service providers located outside India
    Show AI Summary
    Place of supply: data hosting services to overseas cloud providers treated at recipient location, qualifying as export when conditions met.
    Where an Indian data hosting provider supplies comprehensive data centre and hosting services to an overseas cloud computing provider, those services are not intermediary services, not supplied in relation to goods "made available" by the recipient, nor directly in relation to immovable property; accordingly the place of supply defaults to the location of the recipient, and if that recipient is outside India the supply can be treated as an export of services subject to other export conditions.
    Clarification on availability of input tax credit in respect of demo vehicles
    Show AI Summary
    Input tax credit on demo vehicles permitted when used to promote further sale, disallowed for agency or staff transport.
    ITC on demo vehicles with seating capacity not exceeding thirteen is blocked under clause (a) of section 17(5) except when used for further supply, transportation of passengers, or imparting driving training. Demo vehicles used by authorised dealers to promote and facilitate sale are treated as used for further supply and ITC is available; vehicles used for other purposes or acquired where the dealer acts only as an agent are excluded and ITC is not available. Capitalised demo vehicles qualify as capital goods and attract ITC subject to section 16(3) (no ITC if depreciation claimed on tax component) and adjustments on subsequent sale under section 18(6)/rule 44(6).
    Clarification in respect of advertising services provided to foreign clients
    Show AI Summary
    Place of supply rules: end-to-end advertising to foreign clients treated as export, intermediary treatment differs.
    Where an Indian agency provides end-to-end advertising and contracts separately with media owners, it is not an intermediary, the recipient is the foreign client, the supply is not performance based under section 13(3), and the place of supply is the recipient's location under section 13(2), making the service exportable subject to section 2(6). If the agency only facilitates a direct contract between foreign client and media owner, the agency is an intermediary and place of supply for its facilitation services is the supplier's location under section 13(8)(b).
    Due diligence in relation to non-resident guarantees availed by persons resident in India
    Show AI Summary
    Non-resident guarantees prohibition: banks must ensure guarantees to resident Indian parties comply with FEMA restrictions and due diligence.
    Non resident guarantees, including SBLCs and performance guarantees in favour of residents in India, are not permitted under FEMA; Category I Authorised Dealer banks must apply due diligence when advising or transmitting such guarantee contracts to resident constituents to ensure compliance with FEMA restrictions and to bring these requirements to the constituents' attention.
    Relaxation from compliance with certain provisions of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015
    Show AI Summary
    Relaxation of LODR disclosure obligations extended; entities must follow Master Circular conditions and regulatory provisions.
    Extension of the temporary relaxation allowing listed entities not to send physical copies of financial statements and related documents for AGMs and to apply earlier relief on voting-related dispatch requirements for electronic general meetings is granted until September 30, 2025; entities must comply with paragraph 5.1 and 5.2 of section VI J of chapter VI of the Master Circular dated July 11, 2023, and note that the relaxations are issued under regulatory powers and remain subject to the Companies Act and applicable rules.
    Responsibilities of Principal Auditor and Other Auditors in Group Audits
    Show AI Summary
    Principal auditor responsibility in group audits requires obtaining sufficient appropriate evidence, not blind reliance on component auditors.
    Principal auditors in group audits bear primary responsibility for the audit opinion on consolidated and group financial statements and must obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence about component financial information rather than mechanically relying on component auditors. SA 600 must be read with SA 200 and other related Standards and the Companies Act, 2013 obligations. The frequent use of the word 'should' in SA 600 does not render its procedures discretionary; such provisions are presumptively mandatory and must be performed or otherwise justified and documented by alternative procedures.

    Show AI Summary
