M/S Weiwo Communication Private Limited vs. Assistant Commissioner
Held
The High Court held that the time limit prescribed under Rule 117 of the CGST Rules for claiming transitional credit is procedural and not mandatory. Denying credit due to non-filing of TRAN-1 on technical grounds is unjust.
Facts
Petitioners sought to reopen the GST common portal to rectify or file Form GST TRAN-1, aiming to claim eligible transitional credit. They faced technical glitches or missed the original deadline for filing.
Key Issues
Whether the time limit for filing Form GST TRAN-1 under Rule 117 is mandatory, and if its non-compliance can lead to denial of transitional credit.
