Detailed Reply on 8 Defects found During GST Inspection Ignored: Madras HC Sets Aside Order [Read More]

The Madras High Court set aside GST orders ignoring the petitioner’s detailed replies to eight defects found during an inspection. The court noted that the petitioner’s responses were acknowledged but rejected without detailed justification.\r

Justice Senthilkumar Ramamoorthy emphasized the need for substantive discussion, especially regarding discrepancies between GSTR 3B and GSTR 1 statements. Due to this lack of consideration, the court remanded the case for reconsideration, granting the petitioner two weeks to submit additional documents and instructing the respondent to provide a personal hearing before issuing new orders within three months. \r

The writ petitions were disposed of accordingly.
