    Bill-To Ship-To E-Way Bill Compliance, Portal Closure and Transit Controls: GST E-Way Bills: Rule 13...
    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

      Reverse Charge on Legal Services

      Central Government corrects the following three notifications by issuing corrigendum notifications dated 25-9-2017 with respect to reverse charge on legal services.

      Notification No. 10/2017 IGST - Dated: 28-6-2017 - Categories of services on which integrated tax will be payable under reverse charge mechanism (RCM) under IGST Act

      Notification No. 13/2017 CGST - Dated: 28-6-2017 - Categories of services on which tax will be payable under reverse charge mechanism (RCM) under CGST Act

      Notification No. 13/2017 UTGST - Dated: 28-6-2017 - Categories of services on which union territory tax will be payable under reverse charge mechanism (RCM) under UTGST Act

      Entry no. 3 of IGST and entry no. 2 of the CGST and UTGST (both) has been corrected as follows:

      for -

      (2)

      “Services supplied by an individual advocate including a senior advocate by way of representational services before any court, tribunal or authority, directly or indirectly, to any business entity located in the taxable territory, including where contract for provision of such service has been entered through another advocate or a firm of advocates, or by a firm of advocates, by way of legal services, to a business entity.”,

      read

      (2)

      “Services provided by an individual advocate including a senior advocate or firm of advocates by way of legal services, directly or indirectly.

      Explanation.- “legal service” means any service provided in relation to advice, consultancy or assistance in any branch of law, in any manner and includes representational services before any court, tribunal or authority.”.

      It appears that government has made an attempt to resolve the issues raised before the High Courts.

      But it is to be seen to what extent the aforestated corrected notifications by way of corrigendum notifications would address the following issue raised in the writ petition before the Delhi High Court [2017 (7) TMI 542 - DELHI HIGH COURT]

      "One of the central issues that requires to be addressed is whether the impugned Notification No.13/2017 dated 28th and 30th June, 2016 cover all legal services not restricted to representational services rendered by legal practitioners. The ancillary question is whether there is any requirement of registration by legal practitioners and/or firms rendering legal services under the CGST Act or the IGST Act or the DGST Act even if they are earlier registered under the FA?"
