Proper officers holding the rank of Joint Commissioner, Deputy Commissioner, or Assistant Commissioner of State Tax are authorised to exercise powers for the purposes of Rule 86B of the Rajasthan Goods and Services Tax Rules, 2017. This authority may be exercised only within their respective territorial jurisdiction and is deemed effective from 1 January 2021.

Supplementary Import General Manifest amendments before Sea Entry Inwards are to be disabled from 20 February 2026. Timely House Bill of Lading declaration through Cargo Summary Notification messages is required so that Sea Arrival Manifests contain mandatory data for risk analysis and trade facilitation. Before Sea Entry Inwards, Bill of Lading additions or amendments must use Sea Arrival Amendment or Sea Cargo Amendment messages without officer routing. Post-entry amendments will require officer routing, with reasons for delayed inclusion potentially sought and supplementary amendment charges leviable under existing procedures.

Article 32 may be invoked for immediate protection of personal liberty where custody presents a glaring deprivation of liberty, notwithstanding a remand order and the ordinary expectation that relief first be sought from the High Court. Continued custody for approximately 13 to 14 days was treated as excessive in the stated circumstances. The power to do complete justice supported moulding relief, resulting in an immediate direction to release the petitioner on bail.

Depreciation on a block of assets cannot be disallowed by segregating individual plant-and-machinery items that were not separately used during the relevant accounting year. Once assets within the block have been used for business, simultaneous use of every item in that block is not required. Depreciation remains allowable for the block, making a disallowance based solely on non-use of particular items unsustainable.

Verified printing-voter-list expenditure is treated as genuine where supplier and purchaser confirmations support the transaction, and lack of transport evidence or publication-related objections do not establish bogus purchases. Where no material is supplied for printing, the stated exclusion from tax deduction at source applies, preventing disallowance for non-deduction. Data-processing receipts arising from work assigned within a holding-company and subsidiary arrangement are characterised as business income, with necessary and documented related expenditure allowable. Software previously put to business use remains eligible for depreciation when kept available for use, notwithstanding temporary non-generation of revenue caused by business uncertainty.

Customs examination of imported goods will use system-based e-scheduling on ICEGATE 2.0 and Body Worn Cameras during physical examination. Recordings must cover critical examination stages and interactions, be securely retained for two years, and be preserved until final disposal in investigation, dispute or litigation matters. Importers, IEC holders and authorised Customs Brokers may electronically schedule, view and reschedule examinations, while automated notifications support officer allocation and custodial placement of goods. Any rescheduling, hold or removal from the schedule requires recorded and justifiable reasons by the competent officer.

Passengers carrying dutiable or prohibited goods must file the prescribed baggage declaration, ordinarily through the Atithi application, and non-declaration or mis-declaration may attract action under the Customs Act, 1962. Used personal effects needed for daily necessities may be cleared duty free, while commercial goods are not bona fide baggage. Jewellery and valuables receive duty-free treatment only where they qualify as used personal effects or meet prescribed re-import, temporary-import, or special-allowance conditions. Customs verification is risk-based, and unaccompanied baggage remains subject to applicable declaration, bona fide-use and monitoring requirements.

Authorization for physical verification of business premises under the Rajasthan Goods and Services Tax Rules, 2017 is delegated to Joint Commissioners and Deputy Commissioners of State Tax within their respective circles. They may approve physical verification of a place of business by proper officers under the provisos to rule 9(1) and rule 9(2).

Registration verification under the Rajasthan Goods and Services Tax Rules, 2017 is amended by replacing the Joint/Deputy Commissioner, State Tax, of the circle with the Additional Commissioner (Administration), State Tax, of the zone, for purposes covered by the earlier order under the provisos to rule 9(1) and rule 9(2). The amendment takes effect from 22 January 2021.

Additional Commissioners (Administration) and Deputy Commissioners (Administration), Anti-Evasion, are authorised to grant prior sanction for GST Appellate Tribunal appeals where the tax, input tax credit, differential amount, fine, fee, or penalty does not exceed the prescribed monetary threshold. The Headquarters retains the decision whether to appeal where that threshold is exceeded, including where a common appellate or revisional order decides multiple appeals and the amount involved in any one appeal exceeds the threshold.

Deferred payment of Customs import duty is available from 1 April 2026 to approved Eligible Manufacturer Importers under the Deferred Payment of Import Duty Rules, 2016. Eligibility depends on importer and manufacturing or qualifying job-work status, valid Importer Exporter Code, GST registration and compliance, Customs transaction history, turnover, business continuity, financial solvency, and absence of specified enforcement, prosecution, or prior false-declaration issues. Approval is obtained through electronic application and Customs-system activation. The authorised nodal person must authenticate Bills of Entry marked with payment-method flag "D" through ICEGATE before deferred-payment clearance is provided.

Cash deposits and receipts cannot be telescoped against alleged on-money from a later land sale without evidence that the funds were received or available in the relevant year; the related additions remained sustainable. Land and a building are separate capital assets, and demolition extinguishes rights in the building; sale of demolition scrap constitutes a transfer. Where demolition and scrap sale are integrally connected with sale of land as vacant land, the building's indexed cost must be recognised in computing capital gains, whether consideration is combined or separately computed. Jewellery claimed under an unregistered will remained unexplained where execution, genuineness, and continuing identifiable ownership were not established.

Order XX Rule 6A treats the judgment's operative relief as a decree for execution until a formal decree is drawn, so a decree-holder may seek asset disclosure under Order XXI Rule 41 without awaiting a signed formal decree. Asset disclosure and examination are measures in aid of execution, rather than execution modes requiring a prior application under Order XXI Rule 11(2). Such relief may therefore be sought before filing an execution application or during pending execution, enabling identification of the judgment-debtor's assets and the appropriate executing court.

GST registration may be suspended where return comparisons or other approved analysis disclose significant discrepancies or anomalies indicating contravention potentially leading to cancellation. The suspended person receives a notice stating reasons and must reply within thirty days through FORM GST REG-18, explaining discrepancies or showing compliance. Following the reply or expiry of the response period, the proper officer may drop proceedings and restore active status through FORM GST REG-20, or cancel registration through FORM GST REG-19. Revocation of suspension does not preclude detailed verification, recovery of short-paid tax, or fresh cancellation proceedings.

Dynamic QR Code requirements apply to B2C invoices of registered persons whose annual aggregate turnover exceeded Rs. 500 crore in any financial year from 2017-18 onwards, subject to specified service-provider, OIDAR, and export exclusions. The QR Code must contain prescribed supplier, bank, invoice, value, and tax information and enable digital payment. Invoices may be deemed compliant where payment details are cross-referenced for digitally displayed QR Codes, alternative electronic payment modes, cash payments, pre-paid supplies, or e-commerce supplies. A Dynamic QR Code remains mandatory where payment is made after invoice issuance.

Customs facilities under specified circulars issued pursuant to Section 143AA of the Customs Act, 1962, for maritime-route disruptions caused by the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, remain valid until 15 May 2026. The extension covers the identified Customs circulars, while all existing facilities, terms and conditions remain unchanged. Implementation difficulties may be reported to the Assistant or Deputy Commissioner (Docks) through the designated official email address.

Online applications for allocation of Tariff Rate Quota under the India-United Kingdom Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement for calendar year 2026 may be submitted up to 9 August 2026. The extension follows representations from trade and industry. All other terms and conditions governing Tariff Rate Quota allocation remain unchanged.

Recipients of deemed export supplies may avail input tax credit while claiming refund, subject to undertakings that the supplier has not claimed refund and that the claim is limited to eligible invoices and input tax credit reflected in the valid return. Refund relief for zero-rated supplies wrongly reported in Table 3.1(a) of FORM GSTR-3B applies through 31 March 2021, within the aggregate tax declared in Tables 3.1(a), 3.1(b), and 3.1(c). The capped value of export goods must also be used in Adjusted Total Turnover under the unutilised input tax credit refund formula.

Customs facilitation measures issued under Section 143AA of the Customs Act, 1962, to address maritime-route disruptions arising from the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, are extended until 30 June 2026. The existing facilities, terms and conditions under the specified Customs circulars remain unchanged. Implementation difficulties may be reported through the designated official email channel.

The Monetary Policy Committee retained the policy repo rate and continued the neutral monetary policy stance, citing the need to assess evolving growth-inflation conditions. Domestic activity was assessed as resilient, supported by consumption, investment, credit, manufacturing, services and exports, although global uncertainty, energy prices, supply-chain pressures, geopolitical developments and monsoon conditions remain risks. CPI inflation increased mainly because of food and fuel pressures, while underlying inflation remained moderate. The Committee considered that price pressures were not yet generalised and reaffirmed its commitment to align inflation with the target.
