Acquiring Immovable Property Outside India by Resident Individuals
Foreign property purchase rules under FEMA restrict resident individuals to permitted funds, routes, and ownership structures only.
Resident individuals may acquire immovable property outside India only where expressly permitted under FEMA and the Overseas Investment Rules, including purchase, gift, or inheritance from another resident individual with lawful title, and acquisition from a person resident outside India through inheritance, RFC funds, LRS remittances, joint purchase with a non-resident relative, or foreign income and foreign asset sale proceeds, subject to conditions. The article also identifies impermissible routes such as cash, credit card payments, borrowed funds, deferred payment arrangements, joint purchase with a non-relative non-resident, use of ODI disinvestment proceeds, and gifts from persons resident outside India not specifically permitted.

Exchange Control Risk related to new Income Tax Disclosure Scheme
Foreign assets disclosure scheme requires separate FEMA review for overseas investments, reporting gaps, and funds parked abroad.
Budget 2026 introduced a Foreign Assets Disclosure Scheme for eligible individuals to regularise prior non-disclosure of foreign income and foreign assets, subject to tax and penalty, with immunity under income-tax and black-money laws. The Scheme does not regularise FEMA violations, so taxpayers must separately assess outbound investments, unauthorised funding, reporting obligations, and foreign balances parked abroad. FEMA contraventions may require post-facto remediation through statutory exceptions, Late Submission Fee, or compounding, depending on the nature of the breach. (AI Summary)

Credit eligibility under GST w.r.t pre-fabricated buildings/structures
Input tax credit eligibility for prefabricated buildings hinges on whether the structure is immovable or plant and machinery.
ITC eligibility for GST on prefabricated buildings depends on whether a PEB is treated as immovable property or as plant and machinery. The AAR treated installation and erection of a PEB as creating immovable property, blocking ITC under the statutory bar for works contracts and construction-related inputs, while taxpayers may rely on HSN classification, movability indicia, engineer certifications and contractual terms to support ITC claims and consider administrative alternatives such as claiming under protest or seeking refunds.

Taxability of sharing of costs or reimbursements between related/distinct persons – Drawing Parallels Between Income-tax and GST
Reimbursement of expenses not taxable where no service exists; GST requires an identifiable supply beyond cost-sharing.
Pure cost-to-cost recoveries supported by third-party invoices and without any markup do not constitute taxable receipts because no service is rendered by the recipient. Under GST, taxability requires a supply-the presence of a service or good; mere inter-entity cost-sharing where a paying entity acts as a pass-through for third-party services should not attract GST if invoices match amounts and no profit element exists. Contracts and documentation should therefore establish the absence of a service element to resist tax claims. (AI Summary)

ITC eligibility w.r.t. electricity used at residential township/colony and reversal w.r.t. duty credit scrips
Input Tax Credit entitlement: ITC reversed for township electricity; Duty Credit Scrip exclusion applies only from the amendment date.
The court treated electricity supplied to an employee township as a welfare activity incidental to business, not part of manufacturing, and held that ITC on coal attributable to township consumption must be reversed under Rule 42. The court also held that the amendment excluding Duty Credit Scrips from the exempt supply base is substantive and prospective, so its benefit applies only from the amendment's operative date and not to prior periods.

EVALUATION CRITERIA FOR EXPORT BENEFITS UNDER CUSTOMS AND FOREIGN TRADE POLICY
Duty remission options shape exporter cash flow and compliance through refunds, exemptions and convertible scrip mechanisms.
Selection among export incentive mechanisms requires balancing working capital effects, the nature of reimbursed charges, eligibility conditions and compliance burdens. GST refunds address input tax but cause working capital blockage and do not refund import duties; duty drawback reimburses embedded customs duty via AIR or brand rates. RoDTEP refunds local duties and levies not otherwise recredited, is claimed at shipping bill filing and converts to scrips usable against basic customs duty. Exemption schemes (Advance Authorisation, EPCG, EOU) and MOOWR defer or exempt duties subject to export obligations, validity periods and procedural conditions. (AI Summary)

Common mistakes while filing RoDTEP Annual Return
RoDTEP ARR: file when claims exceed Rs.1 crore; report only taxes tied to exported products and keep documented estimates.
RoDTEP Annual Return is mandatory where an IEC's RoDTEP claims exceed Rs. 1 crore, with separate returns for DTA and AA/EOU/SEZ and per 8 digit HS code filing where individual claims exceed Rs. 50 lakh. Only duties and taxes attributable to exports for which RoDTEP is claimed are includible. Key reportable items include VAT/excise on inbound/outbound transport, fuel for captive power, electricity duty for production/warehousing, stamp duty, and embedded GST from unregistered dealers directly linked to the exported product. Estimates must be reasonable, documented and defensible as authorities may require refund or surrender if bases are unsupported. (AI Summary)

Tax deduction at source(TDS) under GST - Inter State supply
Tax deduction at source under GST applies to inter-state supplies where supplier location and place of supply differ from recipient.
Section 51 mandates TDS by certain recipients, but a proviso exempts deduction when the supplier's location and place of supply are in the same State or Union territory that differs from the recipient's registration State. Applying that rule, TDS is required except where the supplier charges intrastate tax (CGST and SGST) of a State other than the recipient's registration State. TDS credited to the supplier's cash ledger can be used against liabilities or refunded under the Act. (AI Summary)

Invoice Management System – New Compliance – Part 1
Invoice Management System enables pre filing invoice actions, altering GSTR 2B composition and increasing reconciliation obligations for taxpayers.
The Invoice Management System (IMS) allows recipients to take "accept", "pending" or "reject" actions on supplier invoices, debit notes and credit notes before supplier filing. Entries are frozen once suppliers file GSTR 1; a recomputed GSTR 2B will include only accepted and no action items, excluding rejected and pending records. Taxpayers can alter IMS entries until filing their GSTR 3B, but supplier amendments prior to filing reset IMS entries, requiring renewed recipient action. (AI Summary)

Taxpayers must declare an opening balance in the RCM Liability/ITC Statement when there is a mismatch between RCM tax paid and ITC claimed in GSTR 3B: disclose a positive opening balance where RCM paid exceeds ITC claimed (and was not reversed), and disclose a negative opening balance where ITC claimed exceeds RCM paid. No disclosure is required when there is no mismatch, when lower ITC reflects ineligible credit, or when short availments were already recorded as temporary reversals intended for future reclaim.

Way forward for the Clubs/associations - Amounts collected from members
Taxation of member contributions: only contributions for supply are taxable and refunds may be available for prior payments.
The Kerala High Court upheld the GST amendment but limited its operation prospectively from 01-01-2022 and confined taxability to contributions made for supply of goods or services. Consequently, clubs and associations can claim refunds for GST paid on member contributions prior to 01-01-2022 and for post-2022 contributions that were not for supply. Where tax was not separately collected, unjust enrichment will not ordinarily bar refunds. Clubs may remit tax with interest where liable, and consider paying under protest while seeking higher forum review and administrative relief. (AI Summary)

Ownership and bearing of cost - whether relevant for availing ITC under GST?
Input tax credit entitlement depends on legal liability to bear costs under GST, not ownership of goods.
Entitlement to input tax credit under GST depends on who is legally liable to bear the expense and whether the recipient holds the invoice and corresponding input entries; ownership of the goods is not determinative. Where reimbursement is partial, credit is allowed only to the extent of cost borne by the claimant. Recoveries after incurring the cost do not automatically disqualify initial ITC if documentary evidence and return entries support the claim; agreements and accounting should reflect initial liability and subsequent recoveries.

No GST liability on any portion of income – ITC reversal not required in all cases
Input tax credit reversal: statutory value deductions do not trigger reversal when taxable value is reduced, not exempted.
Supplies subject to statutory value reductions for computing taxable value (such as life insurance premium valuation adjustments and pure agent reimbursements) are taxable supplies with reduced taxable value; the excluded portion is not an exempt or non-taxable supply and therefore does not require reversal of input tax credit. A tax administration circular confirms that these value deductions are not nil rated, wholly exempt, or non-taxable, so no credit reversal is needed for the deducted portion, though blocked credits and wholly exempt receipts remain ineligible for credit.

Requirement of GST Registration for landowners in respect of Land given on Development
GST registration for landowners may be required when aggregate taxable supplies exceed threshold; pre-completion sales trigger liability.
Development agreements create separate supplies: developer services and landowner development rights; each supply attracts independent GST analysis. Sales or leases by the landowner, particularly sales before the Completion date and commercial leases, are taxable and may require GST registration if aggregate turnover exceeds the statutory threshold. Where taxable activity exists, registration enables claiming input tax credit on GST charged by the developer; alternatively an agent-sale arrangement with the developer taking separate registration can be used to discharge and account for GST on the landowner's units.

Choosing RCM or FCM on GST portal – GTA taxpayers
Choice of charge mechanism on GST portal: GTA may elect forward or reverse charge, altering tax liability and ITC entitlement.
GTAs may elect forward or reverse charge on the GST portal by filing specified annexure forms; the chosen option holds for the financial year and can be changed for the next year only by timely filing the relevant annexure. Forward charge permits the GTA to charge differing tax rates and, if electing the higher rate, to claim input tax credit; reverse charge makes the recipient liable to pay tax and the GTA ineligible for ITC. Failure to file within the prescribed window results in continuation of the existing mechanism. (AI Summary)

GST Portal Changes – Electronic Credit Reversal and Re-claimed Statement
Electronic credit reversal statement: portal disclosure reconciles future ITC re claims against past reversals to flag exceptions.
The article explains the Electronic Credit Reversal and Re claimed Statement on the GST portal: taxpayers should disclose opening balances of ITC that appeared in GSTR 2B but were not availed in the corresponding GSTR 3B and which are realistically re claimable. Monthly filers must cumulate reversals up to the July reporting period and quarterly filers up to April-June. The portal uses the disclosure to reconcile future re claims in GSTR 3B table 4D(1) against past reversals and may flag exceptions; disclosure does not replace statutory substantiation and the department may still verify eligibility.

Is Reversal of Credit Required for Non-payment within 180 days?
Input tax credit reversal applies where payment exceeds the prescribed period, prompting addition to output tax liability and interest.
The article explains that when input tax credit is availed but payment to the supplier is not made within the prescribed period, the recipient must reverse the ITC by adding an equal amount to output tax liability and pay interest from the date of availing the credit until reversal. The rules require disclosure and addition in a specified return and month, but practical compliance is impeded because that return was not implemented on the portal; alternative disclosures may be made but do not strictly follow the prescribed procedure.
