HC held that refund restrictions on input tax credit introduced by Notification No. 9/2022 (effective 18.07.2022) cannot be applied retrospectively. The Court invalidated Circular No. 181/13/2022-GST to the extent it made restrictions applicable to all refund applications filed after 18.07.2022, regardless of when input tax credit accrued. The Court emphasized that registered persons retain the right to recover input tax credit that arose from rate mismatches prior to 18.07.2022 under Section 54 of CGST Act. Impugned refund rejection orders were set aside, directing authorities to reconsider applications without applying the contested circular's clarification. This preserves taxpayers' vested rights to claim refunds for periods before the notification's effective date.
