The Meghalaya High Court bench headed by Chief Justice Sanjib Banerjee and Justice W. Diengdoh has stayed the recovery of GST on royalty paid for mining limestone.
The issue raised was in respect of the applicability of goods and services tax on royalty paid for mining limestone in the State. The petitioner/assessee agreed that the larger issue as to whether tax had to be paid on mining royalty was pending before the Supreme Court.
