Section 10(1)(a) of the IGST Act fixes the place of supply where the movement of goods terminates for delivery to the recipient, not when goods are handed to a common carrier or when title passes under contractual terms. As the goods were destined to recipients at locations outside the State, the supply was inter-State, attracting IGST, and not intra-State so as to permit levy of CGST/SGST on the same transaction. The show cause notice seeking CGST/SGST on a supply already exigible to IGST was held arbitrary and contrary to Section 10(1)(a) and was quashed to the extent of the impugned demand; the petition was partly allowed. - HC
