The AAAR dismissed the appeal due to late filing beyond the statutorily prescribed time limits under Section 100(2) of CGST Act, 2017. The Authority clarified that while it has discretionary power to condone delays, this power is strictly limited to an additional 30 days beyond the initial 30-day filing period. The appellant failed to demonstrate sufficient cause for the delay, with their first communication occurring on 17.10.2024, well after both the original deadline (30.08.2024) and the condonable period (29.09.2024) had expired. The AAAR emphasized that ignorance of filing procedures cannot excuse non-compliance, and the discretionary power to condone delays is not obligatory but contingent upon showing sufficient cause within statutory timeframes.
