Appeal against disallowance of ITC as ITC availed after last date of availment u/s 16(4) of the CGST Act, 2017

Reply to the notice received for reversal of Input Tax Credit due to non compliance of Section 16(2)(c) of CGST Act and Rule 36(4) of CGST Rules.

An order in original dated 28.03.2024 is subject to challenge in this writ petition. The petitioner received a demand letter dated 21.12.2023 with regard to the disparity between the e-way bills reflected in the e-way bill portal and the petitioner`s GSTR 3B returns for assessment periods running from 2018-19 to 2020-21.

The impugned SCN was uploaded on the portal in the category of ‘Additional Notices’ which the petitioner claims was not easily accessible. It is contended that the show cause notices were required to be placed under the heading of ‘Notices’ but the same was not done. The GST Authorities had addressed the issue and had re-designed the portal to ensure that ‘View Notices’ tab and ‘View Additional Notices’ tab were placed under one heading. The impugned SCN was issued before the portal was re-designed. In view of the above, the present petition is allowed and the impugned order is set aside.

A plain reading of the impugned order indicates that it does not set out any reasons for rejecting the petitioner’s response to the Show Cause Notice. It is also apparent that the petitioner was not afforded a personal hearing pursuant to the Reminder Notice and the impugned order incorrectly proceeds on the basis that such personal hearing was afforded to the petitioner. This court set aside the impugned order and remand the matter to the respondent for consideration afresh.
