Chukkath Krishnan Praveen vs. State Of Kerala
Held
The High Court directed the 3rd respondent (State Tax Officer) to treat the petitioner's representations (Ext.P4 and Ext.P5) as a rectification application. The respondent must consider these applications and pass necessary orders in accordance with the law, after providing an opportunity of hearing, preferably within two months.
Facts
The petitioner, a registered GST dealer, committed errors in filing GSTR-3B returns, incorrectly accounting for input tax credit as SGST and CGST instead of IGST. This led to an assessment order (Ext.P3) and the petitioner sought to rectify these mistakes and adjust/refund the IGST credit.
Key Issues
The key issue was whether the petitioner could rectify errors made in GSTR-3B returns concerning input tax credit and seek adjustment/refund of IGST credit after an assessment order had been passed.
