BSNL Leases Hyderabad Office Floors to GST Appellate Tribunal on “As Is Where Is” Terms

BSNL has leased out office floors in its Hyderabad facility to the Goods and Services Tax Appellate Tribunal (GSTAT) on an "as is where is" basis. This arrangement provides temporary accommodation for the newly constituted GSTAT bench in Hyderabad, facilitating its operations in resolving GST-related disputes. The leasing of space from a public sector undertaking like BSNL to a crucial judicial body like the GSTAT highlights inter-departmental cooperation and the government's efforts to establish the appellate tribunal infrastructure. This move is expected to expedite the resolution of GST appeals and provide relief to taxpayers facing disputes.
