Facts of the Case

Later, the department issued demand order for excess ITC availed. It filed writ petition and contended that ITC appearing in GSTR-2A of one GSTIN was adjustable against returns filed on another GSTIN.

The Honorable High Court noted that the petitioner had communicated both the GSTIN to its suppliers so that the supply of goods may not get interrupted. The Court also noted that supplier had declared supply with correct GSTIN of the petitioner. The Court further noted that the CBIC has issued Circular No. 183/15/2022-GST which allows benefit of ITC even if suppliers declared supply with wrong GSTIN of recipient. However, the petitioner’s case was on higher footing as supplier declared correct GSTIN but assessee had two GSTINs.
