No ITC for Bogus Transactions: Supreme Court Ruling

Quick Summary

The Supreme Court has ruled that businesses cannot claim Input Tax Credit (ITC) if the transactions are not genuine. The burden of proof lies with the purchasing dealer to demonstrate the authenticity of the purchase, not just by providing invoices or cheque payments. Without concrete evidence of actual goods movement and genuine dealings, ITC will be denied.
