HC ruled on GST rate applicability for works contract services. The retrospective reduction of GST rate from 18% to 12% recommended by GST Council on 5th August, 2017 was not legally binding until formal notification on 21st September, 2017. The court held that the original GST rate of 18% prescribed in the 8th July, 2017 notification remained valid for tenders submitted before the final notification date. The GST Council's recommendation alone cannot be construed as a statutory rate change, particularly considering constitutional provisions. Consequently, the petitioner's claim for retrospective rate reduction was rejected, and the petition was dismissed.
