Audit wing of SGST Authority shall keep all proceedings in abeyance if the subject matter is pending before the CGST Authority


Quick Summary
The Calcutta High Court has ruled that the State GST (SGST) Authority's audit wing must halt proceedings if the same issue is already being handled by the Central GST (CGST) Authority. This decision came after an appellant informed the SGST that the discrepancies raised were already part of an ongoing adjudication process with the CGST Department. The court emphasised that the SGST audit should be kept in abeyance until the CGST Authority makes its final decision.
