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.
