Sandheera Infratech Private Limited seeking clarification on the geographical limit of Hyderabad as per Notification No.3 of 2019 under GST. The applicant, engaged in the construction of residential apartments, expressed confusion regarding the mentioned geographical limit. The Authority for Advance Ruling, Telangana, noted that the queries raised by the applicant fell within the ambit of Section 97 of the GST Act. The applicant had paid the requisite fee for Advance Ruling and confirmed that the questions raised were not previously decided by any authority. Consequently, the application was admitted for further consideration. During the personal hearing, the authorized representatives of the applicant reiterated their stance as presented in the application and requested a favorable ruling.

Despite the applicant's genuine need for clarification, the Authority's decision was guided by the statutory provisions governing advance rulings under the GST Act.
