Extended period of limitation under customs and IGST law is available only where suppression, wilful misstatement, collusion or fraud is established. Here, the Tribunal found that the Bill of Entry disclosed the classification, notification number, serial number and applied IGST rate, and treated the dispute as one of interpretation over the applicable IGST rate rather than concealment.
