NCLAT: Revision of GST assessment is beyond the jurisdiction of RP, not sustainable in law

Quick Summary
The National Company Law Appellate Tribunal (NCLAT) has ruled that a Resolution Professional (RP) cannot revise GST assessment orders. The NCLAT found that the RP overstepped their authority by attempting to alter GST dues, which is a power reserved for GST authorities. The Tribunal clarified that RPs can only seek clarification on imprecise claims, not adjudicate or revise assessment orders, and any such revision is beyond their legal jurisdiction.

Court :
