Tvl.Lourdes Matha Cashew Industries vs. The Union Of INDIA
Held
The Court directed the respondents to consider the petitioner's representation for retrospective validation of their GST registration. The decision on the retrospective effect was left to the respondents to decide on merits, considering relevant case law.
Facts
The petitioner was issued a provisional GST registration but faced difficulties in migration due to technical glitches and departmental errors, leading to a lapsed registration. A fresh registration was granted later, but with a later effective date than the commencement of tax liability.
Key Issues
Whether the petitioner is entitled to retrospective GST registration due to technical glitches and departmental errors, and if the respondents are obligated to consider their representation for such validation.
