Background:
The introduction of GST was a landmark achievement in cooperative feudalism envisaged under Constitution of India. The 101st Constitution Amendment Act, 2016 (‘Amendment Act’) effective from 16 September 2016 introduced new legislative scheme under Article 246A, a stark deviation from separation of taxing powers envisaged under Union and State list of Schedule VII of Constitution.
Parting Note:
The Supreme Court’s decision deems all proceedings initiated and notices issued basis the amendments made to the VAT Acts post 1 July 2017 to be void. This is a favorable judgment and provides relief to taxpayers at large.
