GST Authority must consider the rectification application of the Assessee due to an inadvertent error made in Form GSTR-1


Quick Summary
The Madras High Court has directed the GST authority to consider a taxpayer's application to rectify an error made in Form GSTR-1. The taxpayer had inadvertently filed the return for the wrong assessment period due to an error. The court found a prima facie case for rectification and ordered that no recovery or coercive action could be taken against the taxpayer until the rectification application is resolved.
