Error in One or Two Digit in GST Invoice or E-Way Bill Not Ground for Sec. 129 Proceedings: Allahabad HC

Error in One or Two Digit in GST Invoice or E-Way Bill Not Ground for Sec 129 Proceedings: Allahabad HC The Allahabad High Court has ruled that a mere error of one or two digits in a GST invoice or e-way bill is not a sufficient ground to initiate proceedings under Section 129 of the GST Act, which deals with detention, seizure, and release of goods and conveyances. The court emphasized that minor clerical errors should not lead to punitive action, promoting a more practical and less stringent approach to compliance for inadvertent mistakes. This provides significant relief to businesses and transporters.
