A2Z Taxcorp LLP’s Weekly GST Communique compiles the previous week’s key developments across Indian indirect and direct taxation, including important judgments, notifications, circulars, press releases and updates. The lead judgment reports the Supreme Court in Additional Commissioner Grade 2 v. Safecon Lifescience (SLP dismissed 17 July 2026), affirming that input tax credit cannot be denied to a bona fide purchaser merely because the supplier’s registration was cancelled retrospectively.

The ruling confirms that Section 74 CGST proceedings cannot be invoked against a genuine recipient who established the authenticity of transactions through tax invoices, e-way bills, transport documents, banking-channel payments and filed returns—absent any finding of fraud, wilful misstatement or suppression. It reinforces protection for compliant buyers against upstream supplier irregularities, a recurring pain point for Indian businesses navigating GST input-credit denials on grounds beyond their control.

The Communique also collates important customs, DGFT and income-tax notifications, circulars and press releases of the week, alongside video explainers, offering in-house tax teams a consolidated weekly briefing. Given India’s fast-moving GST litigation and frequent CBIC clarifications, such digests are valuable for tracking judicial trends, compliance deadlines and administrative guidance in a single reference, particularly for multinationals managing Indian GST exposure.
