Deficiency in the GST portal has to be covered up manually and can’t be a excuse for not amending BOE


Quick Summary
The Bombay High Court has ruled that deficiencies in the GST portal cannot be used as an excuse by the Department to deny taxpayers the right to amend their Bills of Entry (BOE). Even if goods have been cleared, amendments to details like GSTIN and address on the BOE are permissible under Section 149 of the Customs Act. The court stated that any system limitations must be overcome manually until the portal is improved.
