GST:
Validity of show cause notice (SCN) - Supply of Relied Upon Documents (RUD) - Supply of inter-departmental communications or records/file notings or data/information - The High court found a prima facie case for the petitioners to be provided with the investigation report, acknowledging that such disclosure must balance the need for transparency and the protection of sensitive information. The court directed the respondents to furnish the investigation report to the petitioners, with the possibility of redacting sensitive information. - The court dismissed the demands for additional documents as unfounded and a means to delay the proceedings. It affirmed the need for transparency and the right to a fair defense, within the bounds of reasonable requests and the avoidance of fishing expeditions.
GST:
Attachment of Bank Account - Orders passed u/s 83(1) of the CGST Act - Period of limitation - The petitioner argued that as the orders had ceased to operate, there should be no impediment for them to operate the cash credit accounts. The respondents conceded to the statutory position but argued that a fresh attachment order had been passed, justifying the continued attachment. The petitioner contended that the repeated attachment was in breach of the CGST Act and they had not received copies of the latest attachment order. - The High Court noted that the order subject to these proceedings had ceased to operate, thus disposing of the petition while reserving the petitioner's right to challenge the fresh attachment order dated 13.12.2023.
GST:
Cancellation of CGST registration - defective Show Cause Notice - The petitioner argued that the notice lacked essential details regarding alleged irregularities in invoices or bills, hindering their ability to respond adequately. The court, recognizing the deficiency in the notice, directed the respondent to furnish all necessary details to the petitioner within one week. Subsequently, the petitioner was granted time to respond, and the respondents were instructed to adjudicate the matter impartially within a stipulated timeframe.
GST:
Manner of making Pre-deposit before filing an Appeal - Utilization of Input Tax credit (ITC) available in the Electronic Credit Ledger (ECL) - The petitioner approached the court seeking relief regarding the utilization of the Electronic Credit Ledger for payment of pre-deposit as required under the CGST Act. The petitioner argued that a circular issued by the GST Policy Wing allowed for such utilization, while the respondent did not dispute the legal precedent set by the Bombay High Court on the matter. After considering the arguments and the relevant legal provisions, the court ruled in favor of the petitioner, allowing the use of the Electronic Credit Ledger for the pre-deposit payment.
I.Tax:
Adjustment made u/s 115JB in Rectification order u/s 154 - Debatable issue - addition of surrendered income by the assessee was included in the book profit of the assessee as per Section 115JB - The Revenue argued that the disclosed income should be considered as part of the book profit for tax calculation purposes. However, the respondent contended that the inclusion of this income required extensive debate and was not supported by incriminating material found during the survey. The Tribunal agreed with the respondent, concluding that the Assessing Officer's action under Section 154 was unwarranted due to the debatable nature of the issue. Consequently, the Tribunal dismissed the appeal of the Revenue.
I.Tax:
Validity of reopening of assessment - Sanction for issue of notice u/s 151 - The High Court found that the AO had acted based on borrowed satisfaction and lacked independent application of mind. Additionally, the court ruled that the approval granted was merely mechanical and did not involve proper consideration. Consequently, the court upheld the decision of the ITAT to quash the reopening proceedings and notice issued under Section 148 of the Act, dismissing the appeal of the Revenue.
I.Tax:
Addition to the book profit u/s 115JB for the amount disallowed u/s 14A r.w. Rule 8D - the tribunal noted that the AO had made the disallowance under Section 14A, but the assessee hadn't adjusted this amount while computing the book profit. The tribunal upheld the addition to the book profit, affirming the decision of the CIT(A) and partly allowing the Revenue's appeal on this ground.
I.Tax:
Validity of reopening of assessment - doctrine of merger - The ITAT unequivocally quashed the reassessment proceedings initiated against the appellant for the Assessment Year 2006-07, ruling them as bad-in-law due to the procedural flaw of issuing a notice under section 147 beyond the four-year period without specifying the particulars of omitted income - The judgment also indirectly supports the appellant's contention regarding the classification of certain incomes as business incomes eligible for section 80IA deductions, though this specific issue became moot following the quashing of the reassessment order.
I.Tax:
Stay of recovery proceedings initiated under Section 226(3) - Political Party claiming exemption u/s 13A as appliable to Trusts, denied - The tribunal dismissed these allegations, highlighting that the Assessing Officer proceeded according to the due process of law. The claim of hardship was found to lack merit as the assessee had ample opportunities to address the demand, including a chance to pay 20% of the demand in October 2021, which was not taken. - While this issue's specific judicial reasoning is not provided in the Stay Application's context, the denial of exemption by the Assessing Officer underlines strict adherence to the statutory requirements of the Income-tax Act.
I.Tax:
Addition u/s 40A - purchases in cash in excess of ₹ 20,000/ - case of the assessee that all the cash purchase are fully covered under Rule 6DD(e)(ii) of the Income Tax Rules, as many venders do not have bank account and the purchases were done away from remote areas - whether assessee has fulfilled the condition laid down in Rule 6DD? - The Tribunal noted that the appellant had indeed made substantial cash purchases but found merit in the argument that these were covered under Rule 6DD, considering the nature of the business and the vendors' circumstances.
I.Tax:
Deduction u/s 80IA - The Revenue contended that the filing of Form 10CCB within the prescribed date is mandatory, while the assessee argued otherwise. The Tribunal, after analyzing the relevant legal provisions, concluded that while the filing of Form 10CCB is mandatory, adhering to the prescribed due date is not. The Tribunal also noted that the CIT(A) failed to properly consider legal precedents and independently assess the facts of the case. Consequently, the Tribunal set aside the CIT(A)'s decision and remanded the matter for fresh consideration.
I.Tax:
Registration u/s 80G(5) - The Tribunal found that the provision allowing expenditure of up to five percent for religious purposes did not apply to this case. - The Tribunal found that the rejection lacked proper confrontation of observations and opportunity for the applicant to rebut. It emphasized that if any object of the trust is wholly or substantially of a religious nature, it falls outside the scope of Section 80G. The Tribunal allowed the appeal for statistical purposes and directed reconsideration by the Commissioner of Income Tax (Exemption) with proper opportunity for the assessee to present their case.
I.Tax:
Registration u/s 80G(5)(vi) - The appellant, seeking registration under Section 80G(5) of the Income Tax Act, had their application rejected due to the mention of religious objects in the trust deed. The ITAT found that while Section 80G allows for charitable purposes, any object within the trust that is wholly or substantially religious renders it ineligible for benefits. It ordered a reevaluation of whether less than five percent of the total income was spent on religious activities, with the possibility of granting benefits if found compliant with the law. Thus, the appeal was allowed for statistical purposes.
I.Tax:
Dismissal of appeal of assessee ex-parte before the Ld.CIT(A) - there was no compliance from the assessee to the notices issued and served on the assessee - the Assessing Officer treated the receipt of land as income from other sources, which was contested by the appellant's husband, stating it should be exempt due to its origin from an institution with Section 12A registration. The court directed the matter back to the Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals) for further consideration, emphasizing the principles of natural justice and affording the appellant another opportunity to present their case.
I.Tax:
Penalty u/s 271(1)(c) - Failure to file the Return of Income (ITR) - The appellate tribunal addressed two appeals filed by the assessee against penalties imposed under section 271(1)(c) of the Income Tax Act for the assessment years 2011-12 and 2015-16. In the case of the former, the penalty was upheld, despite the appellant's argument of being a non-resident with limited knowledge of Indian tax laws. However, for the latter assessment year, the tribunal ruled in favor of the assessee, citing a similar precedent and considering the appellant's circumstances. The decision emphasized the importance of timely compliance with tax obligations and the relevance of the appellant's awareness of their tax liabilities.
Cus.:
Levy of Merchant Overtime Fee - the High Court ruled in favor of the appellant, overturning the Tribunal's decision to levy MOT charges for utilizing the services of Central Excise Officers during office hours. The court emphasized the importance of adhering to binding precedents, liberal interpretation of circulars, and adherence to procedural guidelines outlined in CBEC Manuals. They also highlighted the significance of considering the 24/7 mandate for Customs Officers and avoiding the imposition of unnecessary transaction costs and paperwork. Additionally, the court underscored the Principles of Natural Justice and the necessity of considering all relevant judicial pronouncements in such matters.
Cus.:
Cancellation of grant of authorised operations of warehousing service activities - Section 16 of the SEZ Act, 2005 - The High Court found that the impugned letter, which suspended D.T.A. clearance, lacked legal basis. It observed that the respondents failed to cite any provision of the SEZ Act to justify their actions. - Consequently, the Court quashed and set aside the impugned order dated 01st November, 2023. It directed the respondents to proceed with the adjudication of the show-cause notice dated 08th January, 2024, in accordance with the law.
Cus.:
Pre-Deposit - Adjustment of various deposits made by entities during the course of investigation - The appellant argued that since they were associated with these entities and deposits were made with No Objection Certificates, these amounts should be adjusted for the pre-deposit requirement. However, the High court upheld the decision of the CESTAT, emphasizing that Section 129E places the responsibility of pre-deposit solely on the appellant, and deposits made by other entities cannot be considered for this purpose. The court's decision was based on the clear language of the provision, and it found no reason to interfere with the CESTAT's order. Thus, the appeal was dismissed.
Cus.:
Absolute Confiscation - penalty - town seizure - Smuggling - illicit transport of Gold - burden to prove - The CESTAT found the statements recorded from the employees at the time of interception and the third party's statement under Section 108 of the Customs Act to lack credibility and voluntary nature. It noted the failure to cross-examine Mr. BSB made his statement inadmissible. - The Tribunal concluded that the appellant presented cogent evidence of the gold's legitimate source through business records and testimonies, which were supported by the refinery's confirmation of melting and refining the gold. - The Tribunal allowed the appeals, setting aside the impugned orders.
Cus.:
Classification of imported goods - Battery Fuse Units (BFU) - The tribunal examined whether the BFU should be classified under Chapter Heading 8529 as parts of Base Transmission Station (BTS) or Chapter Heading 8536 as 'Automatic Circuit Breakers.' After reviewing technical literature and customs tariff headings, they concluded that the BFU's functions align more with automatic circuit breakers, leading to classification under Chapter Heading 8536. Consequently, the tribunal ruled that the BFU does not qualify for exemption under Notification No.25/2005-Cus, as it does not meet the criteria as a part of the transmission apparatus specified in the notification.
Cus.:
Refund of SAD - The appellant, a trader, imported goods and claimed a refund on the paid Special Additional Duty (SAD). However, the refund claims were rejected by the authorities, citing the absence of Chartered Accountant certificates and endorsements in sales invoices regarding CENVAT credit availability. The appellant contested these rejections, providing evidence of compliance with the conditions for refund. The CESTAT, after reviewing the submissions and evidence, concluded that the appellant fulfilled the requirements for the refund.
Cus.:
Classification of goods intended to be imported - API Supari - Chikni Supari - Unflavoured Supari - Flavoured Supari - Boiled Supari - the Authority for Advance Ruling (AAR) ruled that the imported goods remained classified under Chapter 8, sub-heading 0802 80. It concluded that the processes applied did not transform the goods into preparations of betel nut under Chapter 21. Even the addition of flavoring agents did not alter the classification. Therefore, the AAR upheld the classification under Chapter 8 for all the imported goods.
IBC:
Maintainability of appeal - time limitation - Whether appeals filed without certified copies of the impugned orders, due to delays in obtaining them? - The Tribunal considered the mandatory requirement of annexing certified copies with appeals, as stipulated in its rules, against the backdrop of Supreme Court decisions emphasizing procedural law as a means to aid justice rather than hinder it. The NCLAT granted exemptions for filing certified copies in ten appeals where such applications were made, recognizing the Tribunal's power to exempt compliance with procedural requirements for substantial justice. However, it dismissed three appeals where no exemption applications were filed, reinforcing the necessity of following prescribed procedural norms.
IBC:
Initiation of CIRP - Guarantor - Extinguishment of debt - The NCLAT upheld the NCLT's decision, finding that ECL did not act as a guarantor for ESL's debts based on the contractual documents and the parties' actions. It also clarified that the approval of a resolution plan for a corporate debtor does not automatically discharge the liabilities of third parties or guarantors. However, the tribunal's analysis indicated that the extinguishment of debt post-resolution plan approval pertains only to the corporate debtor, not extending automatically to third parties or guarantors unless explicitly stated in the resolution plan.
S.Tax:
SVLDRS - The court acknowledged that the petitioner failed to make the balance payment within the extended period due to financial constraints post-COVID-19. However, it emphasized that the petitioner did not provide substantial evidence of severe financial crunch, as claimed. - Citing a precedent set by the Supreme Court, the court affirmed that the time limit cannot be extended by the court as it would amount to modifying the scheme, a prerogative of the government or the respondent authority. The extension granted during the COVID-19 pandemic was within the authority of the government, not the court.
S.Tax:
The case involved appeals regarding the denial of CENVAT credit, invocation of extended period of limitation, demand of interest on capital goods CENVAT credit, denial of credit on certain items, and imposition of penalties. The CESTAT found in favor of the appellant on all counts, ruling that the denial of credit, demand of interest, and imposition of penalties were unjustified. The appeals were disposed of accordingly.
S.Tax:
Classification of services under Business Support Services or not - The Tribunal observed that the appellant merely facilitates and assist the individuals who are travelling on which no service tax is leviable for the simple reason that service tax is charged on the service provided. The services in question does not fall within the scope of “Business Support Service” and therefore no service tax is leviable under the said category. - CESTAT rules in favor of the appellant, stating that services provided do not fall under "Business Support Services" but are connected with "Air Travel Agent" services.
S.Tax:
Imposition of personal penalty on the Partner of the Firm in terms of Section 78A of the Finance Act, 1994 - The case involved the imposition of a personal penalty on one of the partners of a partnership firm for alleged tax evasion. The tribunal ruled in favor of the appellant, stating that there was insufficient evidence to hold them personally liable and citing extenuating circumstances affecting tax payments. Additionally, the validity of a supplementary agreement absolving the appellant from liability was questioned, leading to a decision in favor of the appellant.
S.Tax:
Recovery of service tax alongwith interest and penalty - Extended period of Limitation- The tribunal found that the appellant had disclosed their CENVAT credit in their tax returns, negating claims of willful suppression of facts. Furthermore, it was determined that the extended period of limitation was incorrectly applied by the authorities, as the issue of taxing renting of immovable property was under judicial scrutiny during the relevant period. Consequently, the tribunal allowed the appeal, setting aside the demand for service tax and penalties as barred by limitation.
C.Ex.:
Remission of Central Excise Duty - The tribunal found Rule 21 inapplicable, as it pertains to goods lost or destroyed before clearance from the factory, not to loss of production capacity. - It was held that the appellant could not claim abatement for non-production under Rule 8, as the factory's closure did not meet the minimum period stipulated for such abatement. - The tribunal dismissed the argument of unjust enrichment by referencing the Supreme Court's stance that refund claims based on taxes paid under an unconstitutional law are not unconditional and highlighted that the concept of unjust enrichment does not apply straightforwardly to the state in cases of tax collection and refund.
VAT:
Levy of penalty u/s 54(1)(2) of the U.P. VAT Act, 2008 - men-rea - The Court concluded that mens rea is indeed an essential prerequisite for imposing a penalty under this provision. - The Court held that penalties could not be imposed on the basis of a best judgement assessment. Such assessments are essentially grounded on reasonable guesses or estimates and do not inherently prove any willful attempt to evade taxes. Without explicit evidence of a deliberate action to avoid tax payments, the imposition of penalties is unjustified.
Indian Laws:
Dishonour of Cheque - vicarious liability of the director - appellant was in-charge of day-to-day affairs of the Company or not - The appellant argued against her vicarious liability under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act, contending that she was not involved in the company's day-to-day affairs and was not a signatory to the cheques in question. The court found the allegations insufficient to establish the appellant's liability and quashed the proceedings against her. - Mere directorship does not automatically entail liability. - The court noted that the complaint lacked specific averments demonstrating how the appellant was in charge of the company's day-to-day affairs or responsible for its conduct.
DGFT:
Amendment in Import Policy Condition for Duck Meat - The newly revised policy introduces a more defined condition for the importation of premium duck meat. It now specifies that only 3-star and above operational hotels, as recognized by a notification issued by the Ministry of Tourism, Government of India, are eligible to import premium duck meat under the restricted category. The amendment aims to regulate the quality and control of premium duck meat entering the Indian market, presumably to ensure it meets specific standards and is utilized by establishments that can uphold these standards.
DGFT:
Imposition of Minimum Import Price (MIP) - Temporary Measure - A Minimum Import Price of 3.5 US Dollars per Kilogram is set for the specified synthetic knitted fabric ITC(HS) Codes. This aims to regulate the import prices of these fabrics, potentially to protect the domestic industry from underpriced imports. - The changes are effective only until 15th September 2024, after which the policy reverts to its status prior to this notification, unless further amended.
Cus.:
ADD on Aluminium Road Wheels imported from China PR. - Notification No. 07/2024-Customs (ADD), issued by the Ministry of Finance, Department of Revenue on 15th March 2024, addresses the imposition of anti-dumping duties on imports of cast aluminium alloy wheels or alloy road wheels used in motor vehicles, originating from or exported by China PR. This measure, derived from a thorough review conducted by the designated authority, underscores the continued dumping of these goods into India at below-normal prices, causing injury to the domestic industry.
Cus.:
Exemption from the Social Welfare Surcharge (SWS) - The amendment made by Notification No. 20/2024-Customs adds a new item to the list under Serial No. 57 in the table of the original notification. This addition is item "(v) column (3) sub-item (c) of item (2) of S. No. 526A," - This change implies that EVs imported under of the Ministry of Heavy Industries' Scheme to promote manufacturing of electric passenger cars in India now enjoys exemption from the Social Welfare Surcharge (SWS)
Cus.:
Customs Duty concession to EVs imported under of the Ministry of Heavy Industries' Scheme - The introduction of a specific customs duty rate of 15% for EVs imported under the new scheme encourages the import and manufacturing of electric passenger cars in India. This aligns with India's goals for environmental sustainability and the promotion of cleaner, greener transportation alternatives. - The conditional exemption, bound by compliance with the 'Scheme to promote manufacturing of electric passenger cars in India', introduces a structured approach to support the domestic manufacturing of electric vehicles. By setting a deadline of 31st March 2031, it also indicates a transition period towards more sustainable transportation solutions.
Cus.:
Agreement or Arrangement on Cooperation and Mutual Administrative Assistance (CMAA) in Customs Matter of India and with other Countries - The Ministry of Finance, through Notification No. 23/2024 - Customs (N.T.), has expanded the scope of cooperation in customs matters by incorporating the Agreement with the Republic of Armenia into the existing framework. This step underscores India's commitment to enhancing collaboration with international partners for effective customs administration and enforcement.
GST:
Dismissal of contempt petition - The appellant filed a contempt petition alleging non-compliance with the High Court's order. However, the contempt bench dismissed the petition, stating that there was no provision under the GST Act for deciding the representation. - The court, independent of the contempt bench's observation, found that no contempt was made out due to the resolution of the representation by the competent authority. As the appellant's remedy was to challenge the order, the contempt petition was dismissed with liberty for the appellant to pursue further legal recourse.
GST:
Penalty proceedings u/s 129(3) of UPGST Act - search and seizure is carried out at the godown - The High court, referring to a previous judgment, concluded that the penalty proceedings were initiated without proper jurisdiction and thus quashed the impugned orders.
GST:
Doctrine of promissory estoppel - Benefit under incentive Scheme - Scenarios of new Acts replacing the VAT Act, ensuring entitlement despite the GST regime. - The High court found that the petitioner fulfilled conditions of the scheme and was entitled to benefits. Past disbursements under the scheme, including GST components, supported this entitlement. The respondent's refusal to disburse the rest of the amount was unjustified. - Clause 19.2 of the scheme was interpreted to cover scenarios where the VAT Act is replaced by any other Act, ensuring continued entitlement despite changes in taxation regimes. The court rejected the respondent's argument that the GST Act replaced multiple statutes, holding that only the VAT Act was specifically mentioned in Clause 19.2.
GST:
Levy of interest u/s 50(3) - Wrong availment of Input of Tax Credit and reversal thereof - The court noted that the issue of levying interest under Section 50(3) of the Act for the wrongful availment and reversal of Input Tax Credit had been settled, as evidenced by the circular and various judgments cited. Additionally, the court considered the retrospective amendment in Section 50(3) of the Finance Act, 2022. - Matter remanded back to the adjudicating authority for fresh consideration in accordance with the law.
GST:
Recovery notice - Validity of assessment orders - The High court observed that while personal hearings were offered to the petitioner, it was evident that the petitioner was not heard during the assessment process. Additionally, the assessing officer relied on internet-based information without affording the petitioner an opportunity to challenge or provide contrary evidence. Consequently, the court found the lack of proper opportunity for the petitioner to be heard as a procedural irregularity, warranting interference. - Matter restored back for fresh adjudication.
GST:
Revocation of registration cancellation - The High court acknowledged the seriousness of cancellation consequences for the petitioner's business and considered a liberal approach necessary. Despite the expiration of the period prescribed under section 30 of the GST Act, the court granted permission to the petitioner to file an application for revocation, subject to payment of dues and penalties.
GST:
The petitioner contested a demand raised against them u/s 74 of the GST Act for a substantial amount, claiming that the order was passed without affording them an opportunity of personal hearing, thus violating their rights under the principles of natural justice. - The High Court referred to previous judgments, including one stating that under Section 75(4) of the GST Act, it is mandatory to grant a personal hearing where any adverse decision is contemplated against the person chargeable with tax or penalty, even without a specific request for such hearing. The Court held that the authority must afford an opportunity of personal hearing before passing any adverse order, as clarified in previous judgments.
GST:
Demand of GST - Validity of assessment orders - The petitioner contended that they provided all relevant documents, including those related to land transactions, during the assessment process. They argued that project details were submitted during rectification proceedings. - After examining the evidence and submissions, the court noted that the assessing officer had considered the petitioner's documents and entered findings based on such evidence. The court concluded that a reasonable opportunity was provided to the petitioner, and the assessment orders were not a result of non-application of mind. Therefore, the court found no grounds for interference in its discretionary jurisdiction.
GST:
Rectification of errors in filing GST Returns - The case involved errors made by the petitioner in their GST returns for the period July 2017, initially by incorrectly reflecting the SGST tax component and subsequently by reversing ITC under IGST instead of SGST. The petitioner promptly notified the authorities about these errors and submitted a detailed reply to the show cause notice. The court, considering similar precedents and the challenges faced by taxpayers during the early stages of GST implementation, directed the authorities to permit the petitioner to rectify their GST returns, emphasizing the need for a flexible approach to address inadvertent errors.
GST:
Condonation of delay in filing the appeal and non-payment of fee towards filing of appeal - delay of 920 days - The case revolved around an appeal filed against a ruling by the Authority for Advance Ruling regarding the exemption of a specific service under GST laws. However, the appeal was dismissed by the Appellate Authority primarily due to a significant delay in filing the appeal, which exceeded the statutory limit for condonation.
I.Tax:
Exemption u/s 11 - whether the objects of the trust were charitable? - The High court found that the issue of interpretation of Section 11 was covered by previous rulings and did not raise substantial questions of law. - As for the restriction of denial of benefit under Section 11, the court agreed with the respondent's argument, stating that only income used for the benefit of prohibited persons should be denied exemption. - Regarding the applicability of the Bharat Diamond Bourse case, the court clarified that it did not specify whether the denial of benefit under Section 11 should apply to the entire income or only to diverted funds. - The court admitted the question regarding the eligibility of expenditure incurred on new objects for exemption under Section 11 for further consideration.
I.Tax:
High court power / jurisdiction to condone the delay - delay in filing an application seeking special leave to appeal against an acquittal. - After thorough consideration, the High court concluded that there is indeed power to condone the delay in such cases. - The court emphasized the precedential authority of a Supreme Court judgment, stating that it is binding on all courts unless distinguished, overruled, or set aside. The argument that the Supreme Court decision was inadequately considered was rejected. - The court analyzed the provisions of the Criminal Procedure Code and the Limitation Act, particularly regarding their applicability in appeals against acquittal. It concluded that Section 5 of the Limitation Act can be availed in such appeals.
