Refund cannot be denied for an inadvertent error which was subsequently rectified

The Hon’ble Delhi High Court in the matter of M/s. Shri Shyam Footwear v. the Commissioner of Central Goods and Services Tax and Anr. [W.P. (C). 5845 of 2022 dated January 31, 2023] has set aside the order of the Revenue Department rejecting the refund application of the assessee on the grounds that the rectified information submitted by the assessee was not taken into account while passing such order. Held that, the assessee cannot be penalised for an inadvertent error in submitting an erroneous information, which had already been rectified. Further that, it is essential for the Revenue Department to examine the information as submitted by the assessee and process its claim for refund of unutilized Input Tax Credit (“ITC”) in accordance with law.
