Registration suspended at the time of supply prevents a post...

Registration suspended at the time of supply prevents a post suspension tax invoice from substituting for prescribed transit documentation; because the supplier's registration remained suspended and no e way bill or other specified documents accompanied the goods, the tax invoice could not be treated as the required document under the statutory scheme. The administrative circular relied upon is inapplicable where prescribed documents are absent. Consequence: petitions challenging seizure and related orders were dismissed for lack of compliance with the e way bill and specified document requirements.
