Appeal Against OrderGST

The Calcutta High Court stayed a GST demand, considering it revenue neutral, where the taxpayer had wrongly claimed Input Tax Credit (ITC) under IGST (Integrated Goods and Services Tax) instead of CGST (Central Goods and Services Tax). The court acknowledged that the total tax liability remained the same, but the credit was claimed under the wrong tax head, warranting a stay on the demand pending rectification.
