    <title>Retrospective GST on SEZ insurance supplies stayed as Court finds arguable jurisdictional challenge to amendment-based demand.</title>
    <link>https://www.taxtmi.com/highlights?id=98261</link>
    <description>Retrospective GST demand on insurance supplies to SEZ units raised a prima facie jurisdictional issue, because the amendment inserting the words &quot;for authorised operations&quot; could not, at this stage, be used to tax past supplies that had been treated as zero-rated. The Court found the challenge arguable on the competence to levy tax retrospectively for the period before 1 October 2023 and noted the statutory definition of &quot;recipient&quot; under the CGST Act, observing that the SEZ units had subscribed to the policies and paid the consideration. Pending final hearing, the impugned orders were stayed.</description>
