Assessee should approach the Commissioner under Section 80 of the CGST Act to seek relief for payment of interest in instalments

Last updated: 23 May 2024
Quick Summary
The Madras High Court has ruled that assessees seeking to pay interest on disputed GST liabilities in instalments should apply to the Commissioner under Section 80 of the CGST Act. This decision came after a petitioner challenged an interest levy on excess Input Tax Credit (ITC) that had already been paid. The court found no reason to interfere with the appellate authority's order but clarified that the Commissioner is the appropriate authority for instalment payment relief.
