23 September 2020 Hi respected experts,

Is there any powers to officers or commissioners under GST to condone and give relief to tax payer for genuine reasons.

Our client has availed ITC against sec 16(4) with delay of four days.

The department is ready to condone but they are not able to take power from any provisions of the act,

kindly advice

23 September 2020 There are no express powers to condone such delay with any GST administrative authority under the CGST Act.
However, other avenues can be explored. For which period is this and what is the amount involved are the important considerations. Whether you have received any notice?

24 September 2020 It is worth claiming it even if it requires litigation.There can be 2 routes possible. one is to take up with GST council and another to draft suitable legal reply in response to the letter of the department.
You can share the deptt letter on my email lekhrsood@gmail.com.If you want I can help you in the process.
