Facts of the Case

The petitioner was an assessee under the provisions of the CGST Act, 2017. The petitioner had received IGST tax credit through interstate inward supply of goods.

Due to this mistake, the department passed the assessment order against it.

The petitioner filed application in Form RFD-01 as provided under Rule 89(1)(A) of the CGST Rules, 2017. However, no decision had been taken on the said application and it filed writ petition seeking direction to set off input credit.

High Court Held

The Honorable High Court noted that the petitioner was granted hearing opportunity before passing of final order. The Court further directed the department to consider rectification application and pass necessary orders thereon expeditiously. Until final order was passed on application, no coercive measures shall be taken against the petitioner for realization of the tax amount.
