HC ruled that voluntary payment made through Form GST DRC-03 constitutes valid pre-deposit for filing appeal against order-in-original, even though Form GST DRC-03A was introduced later. Following Circular No.224/18/2024-GST's clarification that DRC-03 payments shall be considered equivalent to DRC-03A pre-deposits, the Court set aside the rejection order dated 26.07.2024. The appeal was restored, with direction to consider the amount paid via DRC-03 as valid pre-deposit. The Court noted that despite multiple adjournments, authorities failed to verify the payment status, while funds remained in DRC-03. The petition was disposed of with instructions to accept the existing payment as legitimate pre-deposit for appeal purposes.
