The High Court quashed a letter dated March 13, 2024, issued by the Superintendent (A.E.) Central Goods and Service Tax, Gautam Budh Nagar, advising voluntary tax payments without proper legal basis. The Court observed that the Department was advising the petitioner to make voluntary payments without issuing any show cause notice/demand notice/recovery notice, which is unknown in law. The respondents failed to indicate any provision under which such a letter could be issued. The Court directed the authorities to be cautious and refrain from issuing such letters tantamounting to pressure tactics, allowing the petition.
