Movie theaters hiked ticket prices to offset GST cut - profiteering charges upheld.

Case Laws     GST

November 6, 2024

Profiteering in GST rates for admission to cinema exhibitions. Despite a reduction in GST rates from 28% to 18%, the benefit was not passed on to consumers, and instead, the base price was increased to maintain a uniform "cum-tax" selling price. The High Court held that once the GST rate was reduced, it became mandatory for the petitioner to pass on the benefit of that reduction. There was no justification to interfere with the Competition Commission of India's (CCI) view, and the petition challenging the CCI's order was dismissed.
