Composition scheme lapse triggers transition to regular tax liability and requires issuing tax invoices and filing withdrawal notice promptly.
Crossing the aggregate turnover threshold causes the composition option to lapse from the day the threshold is exceeded; the person is liable to pay tax under section 9 from that day and must issue tax invoices for every taxable supply made thereafter. The person must also file an intimation for withdrawal from the scheme in FORM GST CMP-04 within seven days of the occurrence of such event.

Composition scheme eligibility may be available for suppliers using e-commerce operators while TDS/TCS provisions remain inoperative.
Eligibility for the composition scheme is negated for suppliers making supplies through an electronic commerce operator required to collect tax at source; however, because the TDS/TCS provisions are not yet operative and ECOs are not required to collect tax, suppliers using ECOs may currently opt for the composition scheme until the collection provisions are brought into force, and an administrative clarification from the government is recommended to remove uncertainty.

Composition scheme prohibits inter state outward supplies, triggering immediate withdrawal and normal GST liability if violated.
A registered person availing the composition scheme cannot make inter state outward supplies; place of supply outside the state requires issuance of a Bill of Supply only, and an inter state supply triggers immediate withdrawal of the composition scheme by operation of law. Withdrawal converts liability to tax under normal provisions, requires filing FORM GST CMP-04 electronically, and exposes the person to additional tax and penalty determination by the proper officer if composition was wrongly availed.

Job worker treated as service under Schedule entry - excluded from composition scheme even if activity amounts to manufacture.
A person undertaking treatment or process on another's goods is classified as a service provider under the statutory definition of job work and the Schedule entry treating such treatment as a supply of services; therefore, even if the activity amounts to manufacture, the nature of supply remains a service and the job worker is excluded from the composition scheme.

Composition scheme eligibility: service providers generally excluded, restaurant food service providers allowed; works contractors ineligible.
Composition scheme excludes service providers generally, so a works contractor is ineligible; however, supply of food or drink (excluding alcoholic liquor) provided as a service for consideration is carved out as an exception, permitting restaurant-style vendors to avail composition benefits under the composition levy conditions and restrictions.

Composition scheme eligibility restricted for certain manufacturers; ice cream, pan masala and tobacco products excluded from composition benefit.
The Composition Scheme allows manufacturers and traders to opt for a simplified levy instead of regular GST, but the government may notify exclusions. Manufacturers of ice cream and other edible ice, pan masala, and tobacco and manufactured tobacco substitutes are explicitly excluded from eligibility to avail the composition benefit.

Classification of fork lift equipment: pallets are not parts and therefore fall under independent goods classification, not vehicle parts.
Pallets used with fork lift trucks are not parts because the fork lift operates without them; the parts classification guidance does not apply to goods merely used with machinery, so the pallets must be classified as independent goods rather than as parts of the trucks.

Tariff classification: pantoon with spuds falls under specialized vessel heading, prompting remand over inadequate tribunal reasoning.
The expression "pantoon with spuds" is to be classified under the tariff provision for specialized vessel units rather than the alternative heading relied on by the respondent. An appellate tribunal must issue a speaking order addressing the Commissioner's reasoning when disagreeing; it cannot allow an appeal on an issue not raised in reply to the show cause notice or not argued before the Commissioner, and the matter was remanded for reconsideration.

Product classification: mixed rice with spices treated as rice under tariff, not a manufactured spice preparation.
Classification turns on whether mixing raw rice with dehydrated vegetables and spices amounts to manufacture. If the essential characteristic of rice remains and the article continues to be a milling industry product, it must be classified under the milling-related tariff provision rather than as a prepared-food manufactured article.

Tariff classification: Soft Serve classified under prepared foodstuffs, not dairy or ice-cream headings, for excise purposes.
The product Soft Serve is to be treated as a prepared foodstuff under Sub-Heading 21.05 rather than as a dairy product or an ice-cream/ice confection; its character and presentation align it with preparations for human consumption covered by the prepared foods heading, excluding headings for dairy or frozen confection classifications and thereby determining the applicable excise and tariff treatment.

Medicament classification: surgical povidone iodine solutions treated as specific medicinal goods, not generic cleaning preparations.
The product's classification hinges on combined factors-composition, product literature, label, character and intended user-while a miniscule prophylactic ingredient is not relevant. Because the solution is used by surgeons to degerm hands and scrub patient skin to prevent infection, it is classifiable as a medicament under the specific tariff entry rather than under a residuary entry for cleaning preparations.

Tariff classification: composition-based rule places slagwool and rockwool under the slag-derived mineral wool heading rather than stone wool.
A composition-based tariff rule governs classification: products where blast furnace slag or similar material constitutes the requisite proportion by weight are classifiable under Sub-heading No.6807.10 for slag-derived mineral wool rather than under the general stone/rock wool heading; prior tribunal decisions follow the same composition-focused approach.

Classification of board games: Scrabble is a game, not an educational toy, and falls under the tariff heading for games.
Scrabble is classifiable as a board game under the tariff heading for games (Chapter 95) rather than as an educational toy or article of furniture, because its defining elements of chance and skill distinguish it from toys; this classification applies equally to simplified or junior editions which retain the essential game attributes.

Tariff classification: tooth powder treated as heading 3306 and excluded from Chapter 30 despite medicinal properties.
The tooth powder "Dant Manjan Lal" is classifiable under Sub heading 3306 for tooth powders and similar preparations; despite possessing therapeutic properties, Chapter Note 1(d) of Chapter 30 excludes it from classification under Chapter 30, so the Chapter 33 description governs the tariff classification.

Tariff classification: Aluminium castings classed under subheading 84.32, altering their excise tariff placement.
Classification dispute over cast metal components turns on tariff interpretation: Aluminium castings are to be classified under Sub Heading 84.32 rather than under 84.09, applying tariff nomenclature and interpretive principles to allocate goods to the aluminium-specific heading for central excise purposes.

Classification of perfumed hair oil: perfume addition places the product under specified tariff subheading, altering excise treatment.
The Supreme Court held that the addition of perfume to a hair oil product results in classification under Sub Heading 3505.10 rather than under the alternate tariff heading previously relied upon, clarifying the proper excise tariff interpretation and product characterisation for assessment purposes.

Tariff classification of chillers confirmed under sub-heading 84.18 rather than 84.19, clarifying applicable excise head.
The key operative point is that the term "chillers" is classifiable under Sub Heading 84.18 of the Tariff Act rather than Sub Heading 84.19, resolving the tariff heading applicable to chillers for central excise classification.

Classification of paving blocks as tariff goods under subheading 6807.90 rather than 6807.20 clarifies taxable categorization.
Classification dispute concerns whether Paving Blocks should be assigned to subheading 6807.90 or to 6807.20; the authoritative interpretation establishes that Paving Blocks fall within subheading 6807.90, not 6807.20, thereby determining the applicable tariff classification for such products.

Tariff classification: Royan Grade Wood Pulp classified under Sub-Heading 48.18 not 56.01 following judicial interpretation.
The operative determination classifies the expression "Royan Grade Wood Pulp" under Sub-Heading 48.18 rather than Heading 56.01, based on characterisation of the material's essential nature and application of tariff heading language and classification principles to distinguish raw wood pulp from processed textile-like articles.

Tariff classification of medicinal preparations: prior departmental treatment and commercial use determine sub-heading placement.
The Supreme Court held that Johnson's Prickly Heat Powder and Phipps Processed Talc are patent or proprietary medicines classifiable under Sub-Heading 30.03, relying on BPL Pharmaceuticals principles and on prior departmental treatment, commercial usage, statutory treatment and common parlance to determine that sustained classification and actual use as medicinal preparations govern tariff classification despite a new tariff schedule.
