It is Section 50 of CGST Act and not Rule 50.

In case there is no loss of revenue to Govt., then the issue can be contested taking the shelter of the Supreme Court judgment.

As far as the department is concerned, the department has to act as per the Act. Hence the department's stand is correct.

You may find reading of 5-member Constitutional Bench of Supreme Court's ruling in case of BIRLA CEMENT WORKS & JK. SYNTHETICS LTD. VERSUS COMMERCIAL TAXES OFFICER AND STATE OF RAJASTHAN, as reported in 1994 (5) TMI 233 - SUPREME COURT as "interesting".

But, please note that we are dealing with different law having different provisions and rules thereunder. Hence, one needs to be extremely careful before reaching any conclusion to suggest that interest is not payable in given situation.

These are ex facie views of mine and the same should not be construed as professional advice / suggestion.

Unless and until one is thinking about challenging constitutional validity of proviso to subject section 50 (1) read with rule 88B (1) to calculate & pay interest in given scenario, interest is payable even when ITC was constantly available in the intermittent period.

These are ex facie views of mine and the same should not be construed as professional advice / suggestion.
