Held

The Court held that claims for ITC under specific bona fide scenarios, as outlined in Circulars 183/15/2022 and 193/05/2023, can be made within 30 days. It also ruled that the due date for furnishing September returns should be treated as November 30th retrospectively from July 1, 2017, for ITC claims made by that date.

Facts

The petitioners sought Input Tax Credit (ITC) for various reasons including technical glitches in GSTR returns, suppliers not remitting GST, or lack of clear proof of payment. The court considered similar issues decided in a previous judgment.

Key Issues

Whether ITC claims can be processed despite technical issues or supplier non-compliance, and the retrospective effect of extended due dates for filing returns for ITC claims.
