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 monthly return for March 2019 on 23.10.2019 and claimed input tax credit, since return was within cutoff of Section 16(5), denial based on Section 16(4) limitation was unsustainable, requiring reconsideration and grant of input tax credit for March 2019 if otherwise eligible
Calcutta High Court
Where petitioner challenged reversal of input tax credit for delayed return filing and subsequently filed rectification application after retrospective insertion of Section 16(5) and 16(6) from 1 July 2017, with return filed within extended period and no revenue dispute on timing, rejection of appeal ignoring retrospective extension and rectification was perverse and orders were set aside
Kerala High Court
Where petitioner claimed input tax credit for March 2019 and filed return on 02.01.2020, since this was within cut-off date of 30.11.2021 prescribed by Section 16(5), denial of input tax credit on ground of limitation under Section 16(4) was unsustainable and order declining credit was quashed for reconsideration under Section 16(5) if otherwise eligible
Kerala High Court
Where petitioner filed returns claiming Input Tax Credit for June 2018 to March 2019 on dates prior to statutory cut-off of 30.11.2021, denial of ITC solely on ground of belated filing was not justified and petitioner was entitled to ITC subject to other eligibility and order declining ITC on limitation was to be quashed
Madras High Court
Where petitioner was denied input tax credit solely due to filing returns beyond original statutory time under section 16(4), but subsequent statutory amendment under section 16(5) fixed new timeline linked to return due date, denial of ITC based on prior bar was not sustainable and disallowance was set aside to that extent
Calcutta High Court
Where assessee proved possession of invoices, receipt of goods, and payment, denial of input tax credit solely due to supplier's default in GST deposit and non-reflection in GSTR-2A was unsustainable in absence of collusion, and department ought first to proceed against defaulting supplier, making impugned recovery from assessee without jurisdiction and liable to be quashed GST: Where notice invoking section 74 was issued for raising demand in respect of alleged ineligible or excess ITC for 2018-19 solely on bare assertions of fraud or wilful misstatement without particulars, and reply with supporting documents was not addressed, such notice was ex facie time-barred under section 73(10), recourse to extended limitation was without jurisdiction and proceedings were liable to be quashed
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
Madras High Court
Where petitioner filed March 2019 return on 30.10.2019 and was denied ITC due to limitation, retrospective insertion of Section 16(5) by Act 15 of 2024, along with Notification 17/2024-CT and Circular 237/31/2024, extended ITC time limit for FYs 2017-18 to 2020-21 up to 30.11.2021, rendering limitation-based disallowance unsustainable
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
Kerala High Court
Where petitioner, a registered person, claimed input tax credit for February and March 2020 and furnished returns within statutory cut-off under Section 16(5), denial of ITC solely citing limitation under Section 16(4) was unsustainable and authorities were directed to reconsider and grant ITC if otherwise eligible
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 was denied ITC due to delayed return filing and disallowance orders were passed before retrospective insertion of section 16(5), since new provision creates a non obstante retrospective relaxation against limitation under section 16(4), statutory right to claim ITC could not be defeated by circular or notification and petitioner was entitled to benefit of extended period if otherwise eligible
Kerala High Court
Where petitioner claimed input tax credit for February and March 2019 and filed returns on 12.11.2019, since returns were submitted within cut-off prescribed by Section 16(5) which has a non-obstante clause overriding Section 16(4), limitation under Section 16(4) was inapplicable and petitioner was eligible for ITC subject to other entitlement
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
Returns for January to March 2020 filed on 25-12-2020 and 29-12-2020 were within cut-off prescribed under retrospective Section 16(5) of CGST Act; hence, petitioner was entitled to ITC notwithstanding expiry of CBIC circular’s rectification window regarding GST demand orders relating to Section 16(4) time-barred ITC
Kerala High Court
Where petitioner filed returns for input tax credit pertaining to specified periods on or before statutory cut-off date of 30.11.2021, disallowance of input tax credit solely on ground of limitation was unsustainable, and entitlement to input tax credit stood preserved subject to other eligibility requirements
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
Kerala High Court
Where petitioner, a registered taxpayer, filed returns for April 2018 to March 2019 within the extended cut-off dates prescribed under statutory extension by Section 168A of Central Goods and Services Tax Act, 2017, benefit of input tax credit cannot be denied by invoking Section 16(4) limitation, as all returns were within the prescribed extended period
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
