The Chhattisgarh High Court has allowed taxpayers to file GST appeals beyond the statutory limitation period, provided they deposit 50% of the tax amount.
The Chhattisgarh High Court has issued a significant ruling allowing taxpayers to file appeals against GST orders even after the prescribed limitation period has expired. This decision provides a legal avenue for those who missed the standard deadline to challenge tax assessments.
However, the court has attached a strict financial condition to this permission. Taxpayers seeking to file delayed appeals must deposit 50% of the disputed tax amount as a security deposit before the appeal can be entertained. This measure aims to balance the rights of taxpayers with the revenue interests of the state.
The judgment clarifies the procedural requirements for late filings in the GST framework within the state. It sets a precedent for how the court will handle cases where technical defaults in timing are involved, ensuring that substantial tax liabilities are secured before judicial review.
