2019 (7) TMI 1102 - DELHI HIGH COURT

Rectification of TRAN-I - Inadvertent error in filing of TRAN-1 Form - HELD THAT:- The Court is unable to find any distinguishing feature that should deny the Petitioner a relief similar to the one granted in those cases - In those cases also, there was some error committed by the Petitioners which they were unable to rectify in the TRAN-1 Form and as a result of which, they could not file the returns in TRAN–2 Form and avail of the credit which they were entitled to.

In the present case also the Court is satisfied that the Petitioner's difficulty in filling up a correct credit amount in the TRAN-1 form is a genuine one which should not preclude him from having its claim examined by the authorities in accordance with law. A direction is accordingly issued to the Respondents to either open the portal so as to enable the Petitioner to again file TRAN-1 electronically or to accept a manually filed TRAN-1 on or before 31st May, 2019. The Petitioner's claims will thereafter be processed in accordance with law.

This Court directs the Respondents to either open the online portal so as to enable the Petitioner to again file the rectified TRAN-I Form electronically or accept the manually filed TRAN-I Form with the correction on or before 31st July, 2019.

Petition disposed off.
