Re-credit of Input Tax Credit (ITC) cannot be denied due to technical limitations of the GST portal

Last updated: 11 November 2025

Quick Summary

The Delhi High Court has ruled that taxpayers cannot be denied the re-credit of Input Tax Credit (ITC) to their Electronic Credit Ledger due to technical limitations on the GST portal. In a case involving Mohan Footcare Pvt. Ltd., the court found that even though the GST portal lacked the functionality to process re-credits adjusted against government dues, the company's statutory right to this credit must be upheld. The court ordered the Department to manually re-credit the amount within four weeks, emphasising that technical or administrative issues should not prevent taxpayers from accessing their lawful entitlements.
