Purposive interpretation of residential house exemption: unregistered purchase agreement alone does not defeat relief, but investment must be verified...
HC quashed order relating to Input Tax Credit (ITC) claims that were time-barred under Section 16(4) of CGST Act but fell within limitation under Section 16(5). Following precedent from Sri Ganapathi Pandi Industries case, Court determined that while ITC claims exceeded initial limitation period under Section 16(4), they remained valid within extended timeframe provided by Section 16(5). Consequently, original tax assessment order, penalties, and interest charges were set aside to extent they denied ITC claims falling within Section 16(5) period. Writ petition allowed, affirming taxpayer's right to claim ITC within extended statutory timeframe despite exceeding initial limitation period.
