Binding precedent remains operative despite pending challenge, supporting deletion of interest disallowance when debt is converted into preference sha...
Input tax credit for genuine inward supplies from FY 2018-19, inadvertently omitted from corresponding returns, remained available when claimed in the April 2019 GSTR-3B within the then-permitted rectification period. At that time, GSTR-2A was facilitative; therefore, a GSTR-2A/GSTR-3B mismatch alone could not support reversal once the underlying supplies and credit were verified. Effective notice and a personal hearing were mandatory before an adverse GST decision. Notices placed only in a secondary portal tab, without hearing particulars, and orders issued on uncommunicated dates breached natural justice. Failure to consider appeal grounds and evidence or give reasons also invalidated the appellate decision. The demand and consequential orders were set aside.
