Interest leviable only on cash portion of GST liability with retrospectively from July 1, 2017


Quick Summary
The Chhattisgarh High Court has ruled that the amendment to Section 50 of the CGST Act, concerning interest on late GST payments, has retrospective effect from July 1, 2017. This means interest is only applicable to the actual cash portion of the tax liability, not the entire amount. The court set aside a previous order and remitted the case back to the appellate authority to consider the impact of this amendment.
