Quick Summary

The Madras High Court has ruled that GST authorities cannot initiate recovery proceedings for a period of three months following the issuance of an order. This is in line with Section 78 of the CGST Act, unless the proper officer records in writing that it is expedient in the interest of revenue to demand payment sooner. In this case, the authorities initiated recovery before the three-month period expired without proper justification, leading the court to order the refund or re-crediting of the wrongly recovered amounts.
