Cancellation of GST Registration valid where ITC is based on fabricated documents and absence of proof of movement of goods


Quick Summary
The Madras High Court has ruled that cancelling GST registration is valid when a business claims Input Tax Credit (ITC) based on fabricated documents and cannot provide evidence of the actual movement of goods. Despite being given opportunities, the assessee failed to produce necessary transport documents, leading the court to uphold the cancellation as a necessary measure to prevent fraud against tax revenue.
