Delhi Sales tax bar demonstration against vague notices and orders of Deptt

In an important updated the Delhi sales tax bar association demonstrated against the department.The reason behind that was the vague notices and orders by the GST department.

AI generated vague notices

The department is sending notices based on the AI data. Now AI lists every gap in various returns. But every gap is not a base for any tax liability. But the businesses feeling it hard to reply those vague notices.

Passing orders without considering replies

Another important issue was about the orders passed by the department. In many cases they don’t even listen to Taxpayer. They don’t give proper adjournment. In other cases they pass the judgments without considering the replies made by the Taxpayer.

This is costing a lot of money and putting stress on businesses and their consultants also.

CPC for registrations

They have created centralised CPC for monitoring new registrations. But there is no SOP for their functioning. At this point of time the process of registration is slowest.  There is no fix list of documents. They are asking any documents. In many cases they doesn’t even make any sense. this is creating an unwarranted delay in most of new registrations.

In the law it is mentioned that there should be deemed registration if application not registered within 7 days. But now they are asking one month time after Aadhar verification.

Retrospectively cancellation of registrations-

This is another issue which is in litigation. A lot of cases where the registrations are cancelled retrospectively. In every such case they also send notices to the buyers for reversal of ITC. This is killing the productive time of TP.

In most of above cases the cancellations are quashed by the courts. In various judgments the courts even asked department to take care before cancellation. But this is completely useless litigation.

Time bound settlement of demands-

There is another requirement for settlement of demands in a time bound manner. In many cases refund applications are filed but there is not settlement for those demands. The refunds are important for TP as their cashflow hurts because of this.

Resolution of past VAT issues

Many cases were also pending due to VAT issues. They should also be resolved.
