The AT affirmed that, following review of the DGAP report and hearing, no reduction in GST rate nor accrual of benefit from Input Tax Credit arose in respect of the respondent's projects "Gurgaon Hills" and "Grand Hyatt Gurgaon Residences," and therefore no anti-profiteering liability under Section 171 of the CGST Act, 2017 attached.
