GST applicability is raised for monthly reimbursement of internet charges where an internet service registered in an individual freelancer's name is repaid by a foreign client after bills are produced. The reimbursement is credited to the freelancer's bank account, requiring consideration of whether the related reimbursement invoice attracts GST.

GST appellate pre-deposit for penalty-only orders is disputed because the amended regime effective from October 1, 2025 contains no transitional provision. Earlier provisions tied pre-deposit to tax in dispute, so an order imposing penalty alone with no tax demand did not attract deposit. The central issue is whether the new penalty pre-deposit applies by reference to the show-cause notice commencing adjudication or to the date of filing the GSTAT appeal. An interim arrangement permits the GSTAT appeal to be entertained without pre-deposit pending determination.

Proper-officer jurisdiction under GST requires both appointment as a Central Tax officer and assignment of the relevant statutory function. Existing appointment and power provisions supported allocation of demand-adjudication functions through CBIC instruments, including monetary limits. Assignment of functions differs from delegation of powers and does not necessarily require a separate delegation notification. Valid jurisdiction does not determine whether turnover discrepancies, tax computation, interest, penalty, digital-signature objections, or scrutiny procedures are correct; those issues require statutory appellate examination. The appeal route received case-specific protection from limitation-based rejection.

Section 37 of the ITA 2025 permits deductions for specified liabilities only in the tax year of actual payment when computing business or professional income. Covered items include statutory levies, employer welfare contributions, leave encashment, employee bonus or commission, qualifying loan interest, railway-asset payments, and overdue micro or small enterprise dues. Except for enterprise dues, payment by the return-filing due date preserves deduction for the year in which liability arose. Conversion of qualifying interest into a deferred instrument is not actual payment, and sums already deducted cannot be deducted again.
