Quick Summary

The Rajasthan High Court has ruled that tax authorities cannot take coercive action to recover IGST refunds related to exports under the Advance Authorisation Scheme without first issuing a Show Cause Notice (SCN). The court's decision came as the validity of Rule 96(10) of the CGST Rules, which governs such refunds, is being challenged. The petitioner argued that the revenue department was attempting to recover funds without following proper legal procedure. The court has adjourned the case for further consideration of the challenge to Rule 96(10).
