Refund of the tax paid by the petitioner on the ‘Inverted Duty Structure’ - relevant dates - time limitation - petitioner filed an application for refund in the format RFD-01 on 12.04.2023 in terms of Rule 89(1) read with Section 54 of the GST Act much later to the limitation period and claimed a refund paid under IGST - HELD THAT:- When the amounts remaining in the credit ledger was set off as against the demand, the character of the said amounts which remained in the credit ledger changed and acquired the status of tax recovered by the department. An appeal was filed from the aforesaid demand raised by the Assessing Officer which was allowed on 20.02.2022. The appellate order is also said to have been received only on 15.08.2022.
The petitioner has now filed an application for refund of the amounts credited to the credit ledger on the appeal being allowed. Hence, what remains in the credit ledger of the petitioner is the amount of tax recovered which is enabled for refund as per the appellate order. Clause (2) of the second Explanation to Section 54 provides that when tax becomes refundable as a consequence of judgment, decree, order or direction of the Appellate Authority, the date of communication of such judgment, decree, order or direction is the relevant date. Hence, the relevant date as per the Explanation is 15.08.2022 on which date the order was communicated.
The petitioner’s online application was not uploaded, presumably by reason of a technical glitch. The Government Advocate, however, points out that the uploading was not possible since the ‘Inverted Duty Structure’ refund is possible only for two years.
Petition allowed.

Violation of principles of natural justice - blocking of Input Tax Credit (ITC) - HELD THAT:- The documents on record indicate that the petitioner was put on notice, albeit by uploading the intimation and notices on the GST portal. However, it is equally evident from the record that the petitioner did not participate in proceedings and, therefore, could not place on record documents to contest the reversal of ITC. In these circumstances, it becomes necessary to balance the interest of the petitioner and revenue interest. On instructions, learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner would remit 10% of the disputed tax demand.
The impugned order calls for interference solely for the reason of providing the petitioner an opportunity to contest the tax demand, albeit on terms - the impugned order is quashed subject to the petitioner remiting 10% of the disputed tax demand with in a maximum period of two weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order - petition disposed off.
