Where appellant, a lender of housing loans, faced demand for GST on loan recoveries but invoked exemption under Notification No. 12/2017-CTR Entry 27 for first time before Tribunal, exemption applied as pure legal plea could be raised at any stage and recovery of loan amounts qualified as exempt service under Entry 27 GST: Where a housing loan lender claimed that receipts treated as taxable supply were actually recoveries of principal from written-off housing loan accounts and supported this with bank records showing deposits and SARFAESI charges, failure by revenue to consider admissible certified evidence warranted remand for production and consideration of such documents for just determination of exemption claim
GSTAT Raipur
Where assessee-bank was taxed on turnover comprising amounts received as interest on deposits, loans or advances and claimed exemption under Notification 12/2017-CT(R), Entry 27, since such interest-based consideration is specifically exempted except for credit card interest, demand for GST with interest and penalty on this component was not sustainable in law. GST: Where assessee-bank claimed exemption for Rs. 3.52 crores as interest-related adjustments attributable to other States during relevant period, but failed to submit borrower-wise or State-wise supporting documents and only provided a consolidated audit report and CA certificate lacking specific findings, exemption claim was denied since evidentiary burden was not discharged and adverse inference was warranted

Madras High Court
GST notifications under Sections 9 and 11 must conform to GST Council recommendations; addition of phrase “enforceable right in court of law” for taxing unregistered pulse brands exceeded Council’s 21st meeting recommendation and was held ultra vires, violating cooperative federalism. GST: GST Council has power only to recommend under Article 279A and lacks any express or implied power of ratification; purported ratification in 22nd meeting could not validate notifications levying tax issued beyond its recommendations, as ratification cannot cure an act which is void ab initio
