Quick Summary

The Tripura High Court has ruled that tax authorities must inform individuals if they file an appeal on the incorrect GST portal. In a case involving Tropical Beverages Pvt. Ltd., the court quashed an order that refused an appeal solely because it was uploaded to the Central GST portal instead of the State GST portal. The court emphasised that authorities have an obligation to notify the assessee of such errors so that the appeal can be rectified.
