Tax Credit Saved: Technical Error Can't Block Legitimate Claim When Substantive Rights Are Clear and Verifiable

Case Laws GST AT

CESTAT allowed appellant's appeal, holding that transitional service tax credit of Rs. 6,15,409/- is admissible despite procedural error in form TRAN-1. The tribunal determined that technical glitch in entering data at incorrect serial number does not vitiate substantive rights. Revenue directed to treat data entered at Sr. No. 5 as equivalent to entry at Sr. No. 11, recognizing that procedural infirmities cannot defeat legitimate tax credit entitlement under Section 142(11)(c) and Rule 118 of CGST Rules, 2017. The core principle affirmed is that substantial rights supersede minor procedural non-compliance in tax credit transition.
