Officer Appointed Under State GST Act Is Authorised To Discharge Duties As Proper Officer For IGST & CGST: Allahabad High Court

The Allahabad High Court has ruled that an "officer appointed under state goods and service tax" is "authorized to discharge duties as a proper officer for IGST/CGST." The court's decision, which is a significant victory for the government, was made on the grounds that the company's claim was not supported by evidence. The ruling clarifies that a tax authority can add a tax to a company's account without a valid reason.
