The NCLT, Allahabad, has ruled that the "impleadment of GST authorities is not permissible in Section 9 of the IBC proceedings merely due to allegations of bogus invoices." The tribunal’s decision clarifies that the IBC is not the correct forum to resolve tax disputes. The ruling reinforces the principle that tax authorities must follow the proper legal channels to recover their dues and cannot become a party to an insolvency proceeding.
