Consequently, the Authority for Advance Rulings disposed of the application as withdrawn. This ruling signifies the importance of seeking advance clarification on tax-related matters to ensure compliance with GST regulations. The withdrawal of the application indicates that the Applicant found clarity through external sources, highlighting the dynamic nature of indirect tax laws and the need for businesses to stay informed about regulatory updates to make informed decisions regarding their operations.
