Show AI Summary
E-way bill compliance strengthens traceability through Ship-To GSTIN capture, voluntary closure, and disciplined transit controls.
Rule 138 and Rule 138A require pre-movement e-way bill generation, carriage of the prescribed invoice or challan documents, and distance-based validity, with cancellation confined to cases where goods are not transported as declared. The portal advisory adds mandatory Ship-To GSTIN capture in Bill-To/Ship-To transactions and a voluntary post-delivery closure facility, while circular guidance treats transporter godowns as an additional place of business when declared by the recipient. Enforcement under Section 129 and Section 130 distinguishes detention for transit contravention from confiscation linked to intent to evade tax, and minor e-way bill defects are described as technical lapses rather than automatic proof of evasion.
Act Rules GST
Show AI Summary
E-way bill compliance under GST rules governs prior movement information, transit documents, validity, cancellation, and special goods regimes.
Rule 138 of the Central Goods and Services Tax Rules, 2017 governs the e-way bill system for movement of goods and requires prior electronic information before movement begins in specified cases, generally where consignment value exceeds fifty thousand rupees. The rule allocates responsibility for Part A and Part B of FORM GST EWB-01 among registered persons, authorised transporters, e-commerce operators, courier agencies and fallback transporters, while also covering special cases such as job work, handicraft goods, consolidated movement and transport by road, rail, air or vessel. Rule 138A specifies the documents that must accompany the conveyance, Rule 138 provides validity, cancellation and exemption rules, and Rule 138F creates a special intra-State regime for notified precious goods.
Case Laws Customs
Show AI Summary
Import regulation: Gazette publication is required before a notification binds importers; website uploads do not suffice for enforceability.
Publication in the Official Gazette is a condition precedent to the enforceability of notifications under Section 3 of the Foreign Trade (Development and Regulation) Act, 1992; website uploads cannot substitute for Gazette promulgation. Internal references to the "date of this Notification" must be read as the Gazette publication date, and where a notification incorporates paragraph 1.05(b) of the Foreign Trade Policy, transitional protection applies if its objective conditions (LC established before imposition, timely registration, shipment within validity) are satisfied.
Case Laws Indian Laws
Show AI Summary
Arrest communication: written grounds generally required; oral only temporarily, written copy at least two hours before remand.
The obligation to communicate grounds of arrest applies across statutes and, as a rule, must be met by supplying written grounds in a language the arrestee understands. In exceptional exigencies oral communication at arrest is permissible temporarily, but a written copy must be provided within a reasonable time and no later than two hours before production for remand; remand papers must include the grounds and explain any delay. Non compliance renders the arrest and remand illegal, though authorities may seek fresh custody after supplying written grounds with reasons for earlier non supply.
Case Laws IBC
Show AI Summary
Trademark ownership disputes in insolvency require a clear nexus to CIRP; complex title issues belong to full proceedings.
A disputed trademark cannot be declared an asset of the corporate debtor in summary CIRP proceedings absent a demonstrable nexus with insolvency; where title turns on contested private transactions and rival claims, the approved resolution plan governs stakeholders and summary disposition that effectively alters plan rights is impermissible. Avoidance conclusions require properly pleaded applications, material and notice; absent these safeguards, invoking preferential or undervalued transaction provisions in collateral proceedings violates natural justice.
Case Laws IBC
Show AI Summary
Homebuyer societies' intervention in insolvency is limited; representation must follow authorised representative routes post-admission.
Locus standi under the IBC is stage-sensitive: pre-admission proceedings are in personam and participation is confined to the applicant and corporate debtor, while post-admission proceedings are in rem and allow broader standing subject to statutory channels. Individual allottees recognised as financial creditors must be represented through the Code's authorised-representation mechanisms rather than by separate societies asserting membership rights, and inherent tribunal powers cannot create substantive participatory rights absent statutory basis.
