Kerala High Court
Where petitioner filed returns for months September 2018 to March 2019 within extended deadline permitted by Section 16(5), denial of Input Tax Credit solely on ground of limitation under Section 16(4) was unsustainable, and petitioner remained entitled to ITC subject to fulfilling other conditions, as interest liability for belated payment was not contested in proceedings
Kerala High Court
Where petitioner filed relevant GST returns for tax periods April 2019 to March 2020 prior to 30.11.2021 cut-off prescribed under Section 16(5), denial of input tax credit solely for late filing under Section 16(4) was unsustainable and petitioner was entitled for reconsideration and grant of ITC subject to fulfilment of other conditions
Gauhati High Court
Where petitioner filed GST return for 2018-19 on 23.10.2019 and availed ITC, denial of ITC by tax authority was unsustainable since section 16(5) allowed ITC for returns filed up to 30.11.2021, making benefit of ITC for 2018-19 period available to petitioner, thus, order denying ITC was to be set aside
Andhra Pradesh High Court
Where registered dealer availed input tax credit for FY 2018-19 through GSTR- 3B on 20.12.2019, and initial rejection was due to deadline of 20.10.2019, subsequent statutory relaxation after introduction of section 16(5) extended window to 30.11.2021, making dealer's availment timely and order for reversal unsustainable
Kerala High Court
Where petitioner claimed input tax credit for January to March 2019 and filed returns on 31.10.2019, denial of credit due to limitation under Section 16(4) was incorrect since entitlement arose under Section 16(5), returns being filed within permissible cut-off date of 31.11.2021, thus orders declining credit were quashed and authority directed to reconsider eligibility under Section 16(5) alone
Kerala High Court
Where petitioner furnished return for March 2019 on 13.12.2019, within statutory cut-off date of 30.11.2021, entitlement to input tax credit for said period stood preserved and denial based solely on purported delay invoking limitation was unsustainable, requiring reassessment of claim in light of statutory cut-off under Central Goods and Services Tax Act, 2017
Gauhati High Court
Where bona fide purchaser paid GST to registered seller and held valid tax invoice, denial of input tax credit solely due to seller’s failure to file returns or pay tax was not lawful, remedy lay against defaulting seller and not purchaser, thus treating ITC as excess and raising rectification demand was set aside
Kerala High Court
Where petitioner filed return for March 2020 on 17.11.2020 and challenged denial of input tax credit on ground of limitation, since Section 16(5) allowed entitlement where return was submitted before 30.11.2021, rejection of input tax credit as time-barred under Section 16(4) was unsustainable and reconsideration was warranted if otherwise eligible
Madras High Court
Where petitioner’s registration was cancelled and revived later, claim for ITC on pending returns was denied as entitlement under section 16(6) is conditional upon ITC not being barred by section 16(4) on date of cancellation, and since petitioner was time-barred under section 16(4) at cancellation, subsequent claim was not permissible
Kerala High Court
Where petitioner filed returns for November 2018 to March 2019 before 30.11.2021 and claimed ITC for FY 2018-19, since statutory cut-off stood satisfied, refusal of ITC was not sustainable and same required reconsideration under Section 16(5) if otherwise eligible
Madras High Court
Where petitioner claimed input tax credit but filed returns belatedly and sole reason for denial was delayed filing, since statutory amendment extended time limit and petitioner filed within such extended period, rejection based solely on delay was not tenable and impugned order of denial was unsustainable
Madras High Court
Where rejection of ITC was based on limitation period before insertion of section 16(5) which provided statutory relaxation on time limit for returns and rectification, subsequent change in law meant old basis of rejection no longer applied, so ITC denial based on pre-amendment position could not be sustained and impugned order was set aside
AAR West Bengal
Section 16(5), inserted by Finance Act (No. 2), 2024, only extends time-limit for availing ITC and does not create fresh right to reclaim credit reversed for supplier- reporting mismatch; hence, ITC on 2020 invoices, already reversed under AAR order, could not be re-availed
