The DGAP has stated that from Table-'B' above, it was clear that the additional ITC of 2.18% of the turnover should have resulted in the commensurate reduction in the base price as well as cum-tax price. Therefore, in terms of Section 171 of the CGST Act, 2017, the benefit of such additional ITC was required to be passed on to the recipients. 14. The DGAP has further reported that having established the fact of profiteering, the next step was to quantify the same. On the basis of the aforesaid CENVAT/ITC availability pre and post-GST and the details of the amount collected by the Respondent from the Applicant No. 1 and other home buyers during the period 01.07.2017 to 30.06.2020, the amount of benefit of ITC that needed to be passed on by the Respondent to the recipients or in other words, the profiteered amount came to Rs. 85,77,419/- for residential flats and commercial shops, which included 12% GST on the base profiteered amount of Rs. 76,58,409/-.

The Respondent was directed to file his written submissions which had been filed on 27.02.2021 wherein the Respondent has submitted:- i.

....ring measures in Australia revolved around the Net Dollar Margin Rule" serving as the fundamental principle for its guidelines. That was, if the new tax scheme - GST in this case-caused taxes and costs to fall by $1, then prices should fall by at least $1. At the same time if the cost of the business rose by $1 under the new tax scheme, then prices might rise by not more than $1. These regulations have been set as barometers for calculating profiteering. J. No such procedure for calculation of profiteering had been provided under the CGST Act and CGST Rules. Absence of the same violates the principles of natural justice and thus, the investigation was liable to be set aside. k. In this regard, reliance was placed on the case of Eternit Everest Ltd. vs. UOI, reported at 1997 (89) E.L.T. 28 (Mad), where the Hon'ble Madras High Court held that in absence of machinery provisions pertaining to determination and adjudication upon a claim or objection, the statutory provision would not be applicable.

....re was no correlation of turnover with the cost of construction or development of a project. The turnover reflected the amount collected as per payment or booking plans issued by the developer which was dependent upon market driven strategy. On the contrary, the ITC was accrued to a developer on the basis of actual cost incurred by it while undertaking the development of a project. Thus, accrual of ITC was not dependent on the amount collected from the buyers. As mentioned earlier, in this industry, advance was received by the suppliers/dealers even before the commencement of the projects. Likewise, units were sold after the completion of the project as well. Thus, receiving of inputs/input services and taking credit of the same did not have an immediate and direct relation with the turnover. Accordingly, calculating profiteering on the basis of turnover could not reflect the correct outcome for the Respondent. c) To understand the above submission through an illustration, a case was cited as an example wherein the developer floats 25/75 scheme for one of its projects which was launched under the pre-GST regime. As per the scheme, the unit buyers/applicants were required t....

....spondent in terms of Section 171 of the CGST Act should reflect such ITC on goods or services which was not available earlier to the Respondent. However, the approach adopted by the DGAP for calculating the additional benefit accrued to the Respondent was based on the change in rate of tax on input goods and services in the GST regime itself. It was pertinent to mention that credit with respect to such inputs/input services was available to the Respondent earlier as well before the change in the rate. Further, the DGAP had not considered the tax cost which was earlier blocked in the hands of the Respondent. Hence, the above approach of comparison of ITC to turnover ratio for pre-GST and post GST period for a limited period steal of project duration was not a correct approach and profiteering computed on basis of the same was liable to be set aside on this count itself. v. That the calculation made by the DGAP of the alleged profiteering was incorrect. On application of correct calculation the alleged profiteering figures were less than costs incurred by the respondent:- a) Applying the methodology adopted by the DGAP in his Report, it was submitted that the calcul....

The Standing Committee examines the accuracy and adequacy of the evidence provided in the application to determine whether there was prima-facie evidence to support the claim of the Applicant No. 1 that the benefit of reduction in the rate of tax on any supply of goods or services or the benefit of ITC had not been passed on to the recipient by way of commensurate reduction in prices. Further in the matters, where the Standing Committee was satisfied that was a prima-facie evidence to show that the supplier had not passed on the benefit of reduction in the rate of tax on the supply of goods or services or the benefit of ITC to the recipient by way of commensurate reduction in prices, the matter was referred to the DGAP for a detailed investigation. b) For the averment made by the Respondent that the Report could not go beyond the application submitted by the Applicant No. 1 vide letter dated 27.01.2019, the DGAP has clarified that as per Section 171 (1) of the CGST Act, 2017 which itself states that "Any reduction in rate of tax on any supply of goods....

However, one formula which fits all could not be set while determining such a "Methodology and Procedure" as the facts of each case were different. In one real estate project, date of start and completion of the project, price of the house/commercial unit, mode of payment of price, stage of completion of the project timing of purchase on inputs, rates of taxes, amount of ITC availed, total saleable area, area sold and the taxable turnover realized before and after the GST implementation would always be different than the other project and hence the amount of benefit of additional ITC to be passed on in respect of one project would not be similar to another project. Issuance of Occupancy Certificate/Completion Certificate would also affect the amount of benefit of ITC as no such benefit would be available once the above certificates were issued. Therefore, no set parameters could be fixed for determining methodology to compute the benefit of additional ITC which would be required to be passed on to the buyers of such u....

In those cases where businesses had gained due to the ITC should pass on the benefits to the ultimate consumer by commensurate reduction in their prices. iv. The term profit implied the comparison of income vs. expenses. The Respondent submitted that in order to arrive at the value of profit during GST period one needed to make the comparison with increased income/gain vs. consequent increase in cost/loss. The Respondent submitted that by considering the increased income/gain as absolute factor to arrive at the profit amount would tantamount to envisaging factious profit which were grossly incorrect and mis-leading. v. In order to arrive at the actual profiteering amount during GST period the increased income i.e. the ITC gained during GST period and the increase in cost of goods/ services supplied during GST period should be compared and thereby arrived at the actual profit value. vi.

The Respondent vide his various written submissions has contended that the Standing Committee had erred in referring the matter to the DGAP for further Investigation. The Authority finds that as per Rule 123 of the CGST Rules, 2017, the Standing Committee and the Screening Committees at the State level are mandated to carry out only prima facie examination of the allegations of profiteering and, if found true, which are to be investigated by the DGAP in detail under Rule 129 (1) of the Rules. Hence, the contention raised by the Respondent is not correct in as much as prima facie the above Committees have found evidence to the effect that the ITC benefit has not been passed on by the Respondent. 28. The Respondent has contended that the Report of the DGAP could not go beyond the application submitted by the Applicant No. 1. The Authority notes that, in terms of Section 171 (1) of the CGST Act, 2017, it is mandated that, "Any reduction in rate of ta....

In this regard, the Authority finds that, the Report of the DGAP was prepared after due consideration of all the factors and data submitted by the Respondent in accordance with the 'Procedure and Methodology' prescribed by this Authority. The 'Procedure and Methodology' for passing on the benefits of reduction in the rate of tax and the benefit of ITC are enshrined in Section 171 (1) of the CGST Act, 2017 itself which states that "Any reduction in rate of tax on any supply of goods or services or the benefit of input tax credit shall be passed on to the recipient by way of commensurate reduction in prices". As the benefit of ITC has not been passed on by the Respondent to his home/shop buyers, therefore, he has violated the provisions of Section 171 of the CGST Rules, 2017 and therefore in the light of the above, the contention of the Respondent is not sustainable.
