Substantive entitlement to re-credit of input tax credit cannot be denied merely because the common portal lacks a corresponding functionality. The High Court noted that the department itself accepted that the taxpayer had sought re-credit after rejection of refund claims and had not pursued any further appeal; the only obstacle was the absence of an option to issue PMT-03 or restore the amount to the electronic credit ledger. Once entitlement to re-credit was undisputed, any procedural lapse was immaterial, and the Court directed restoration of the amount through manual intervention. The writ petition was allowed.
