Last updated: 03 December 2024
Quick Summary
The Allahabad High Court has ruled that proceedings under Section 130 of the CGST Act cannot be initiated solely based on the discovery of excess stock during a survey. The court clarified that Section 130, which deals with confiscation and penalties, requires proof of intent to evade tax.
