HC determined that GST refund claims on notice pay recovery were not time-barred under CGST Act Section 54. Following Circular No. 178/10/2022-GST, notice pay recovery by employers was deemed non-taxable due to absence of service supply. The two-year limitation period for refund claims commenced from the circular's issuance date (03.08.2022), making claims filed on 05.11.2022 and 07.11.2022 valid. Court emphasized that GST paid through self-assessment, when not legally required, must be refunded as per constitutional principles under Article 265. State cannot retain unauthorized tax collections, constituting unjust enrichment. Petition granted, directing refund of GST collected on notice pay recovery.
