ITC of FY 2017-18 blocked |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Dear experts, our client purchased goods from a supplier in the FY 2017-18.Now the registration of the supplier cancelled by the department from the date which is before our purchase date and our ITC blocked by the department on dated 30.4.2024.My querry is whether this action of the department is legally valid as we have not been issued any show cause notice & the time limit of notice u/s 73/74 has already expired.

Sir, in the below case law, the Hon'ble High Court modified the GST cancellation order to operate prospectively from the date of issuance of the SCN thereby holding that, GST registration should not be cancelled retrospectively when the SCN issued is vague in nature and no opportunity was granted to file objection against retrospective cancellation.
There are also cases where the HCs have held that in spite of the retrospective cancellation of registration the ITC cannot be denied in the hands of the recipient since at the time purchases were made by the recipient the registration of the supplier was active.
If any order has been passed consider filing an appeal. Else, file a writ in HC.
Tysm Ganeshan Sir & Shilpi madam for your quick response.My querry is under which provisions the department can block ITC of the recepient when the time to issue SCN u/s 73/74 has already elapsed.If the action is beyond the law then certainly writ petition/appeal to be filed.
Rule 86A per say does not speak about time limit. It is only a temporary step taken on a protective basis. However the final recovery anyways can be done only under section 73/74 which in your case is time barred. So, it may be a good ground to raise. In case the amount is huge and your working capital will be affected, you may also consider writ petition.
Tysm padmanathan Sir for your expert advice.I think time limit for section 74(10) order is 05.02.2025 for the FY 2017-18 & hence the department can take action u/s 74.Sorry to mention that time limit for section 74 has elapsed.Plz correct me if I am wrong.
Last date for issuance of SCN for 17-18 is 0 5 or 07/11.2024.
For invoking Sec 74 Dept has to establish mens rea. Merely because supplier's registration has been cancelled doesnt mean that there is fraud/ intention to evade by recipient unless there is a collusion between the two.
Sir, I think it should be 6 months prior to 05.02.2025.
.Sh.Sushil Bansal Ji, W.r.t. your above post, even then the issuance of SCN is not time barred, if the elements of mens rea are present. If all the transactions are genuine and duly accounted for in the books of account, retrospective cancellation of the registration of the supplier cannot disentitle the buyer/recipient. Regarding the invocation of the extended period, the burden of proof is cast upon the department (there are so many case laws) but regarding correct availment of ITC, the burden of proof is cast upon the assessee (buyer) under Section 155 of CGST. In this case, investigation is in progress. We cannot expect disclosure of full facts on public forum. Otherwise also the querists hesitate to disclose full facts on the public forum. and In the absence of full facts, correct and fool-proof advice is not possible. Right time of seeking advice on public forum is after the issuance of SCN and NOT prior to the issuance of SCN. It is not in the interest of the assessee though name is not disclosed. No need to explain in detail. Half-disclosure of facts means half-baked reply.
Tysm sir for your guidance
