Centre Appeals SC Against Madras HC Relief to Jio in GST Credit Case

• The Centre has appealed to the Supreme Court against a Madras High Court order that gave Reliance Jio relief in a GST input tax credit distribution dispute.
• The case concerns whether GST credit for common services must be distributed among Jio’s state registrations when the invoice is issued or only when the credit becomes legally available.
• Tax authorities claim Jio violated GST rules by distributing credit after the invoice month, based on notices covering 2018-19 to 2023-24.
• Jio argues the credit cannot be distributed until eligibility is verified and says a one-month delay causes no revenue loss.
• The outcome could affect other large companies with multiple GST registrations that share common-service credits across states.
