The Supreme Court of India has directed the Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs (CBIC) to re-examine the timelines for correcting bona fide errors in GST filings.
Key Takeaways:
- The Court emphasized that realistic timelines are essential, especially since errors often surface only when input tax credit is denied to the purchaser.
- It noted that the purchaser is not at fault, having already paid the tax, and should not be penalized due to filing lapses.
- The ruling aims to ensure fair treatment for taxpayers and improve the efficiency of GST administration.
