GST assessment orders concerning short payment of tax and alleged non-payment on seigniorage fees under reverse charge mechanism were remitted for fresh adjudication. On the short-reported turnover issue, the impugned orders were treated as an addendum to the show cause notices, and the taxpayer was required to deposit 25% of the disputed tax and file separate replies with supporting documents before fresh merits-based orders were passed. On the seigniorage-fee issue, substantive taxability was not decided; instead, the matter was deferred, a 10% deposit and replies were required, and separate orders were directed only after the Supreme Court resolves the reverse charge taxability question, leaving that controversy open.
