HC held that Rule 86A of the GST Rules permits only temporary blocking of input tax credit (ITC) actually available in the Electronic Credit Ledger where the Commissioner has reason to believe it is fraudulently availed or ineligible, and does not authorize "negative blocking" beyond the existing balance.

The writ petition was allowed and the impugned blocking order was set aside.
