Rule 96(10) of the CGST Rules restricted IGST refunds on exports in specified circumstances. The High Court's earlier ruling in M/s Hikal Limited treated the rule as ultra vires section 16 of the IGST Act and manifestly arbitrary. Its subsequent omission without a saving clause meant that proceedings based exclusively on an alleged breach of Rule 96(10) could not continue. Accordingly, a show cause notice seeking to deny or recover an IGST export refund under that rule, along with consequential proceedings, was quashed.
