The dominant issue was whether the demand for July 2017 to March 2018 could be confirmed by relying on an amended Rule 30(4) of the SEZ Rules and a subsequent circular. Since both the amendment (effective from 21.09.2018) and the circular (dated 12.09.2019) operated prospectively, their application to the earlier tax period was contrary to the governing rules and records, rendering the demand without jurisdiction or authority of law; the impugned order was set aside.
