State GST Department not empowered to initiate proceedings when Central GST Department has already initiated the proceedings on same subject matter

Last updated: 27 November 2024
Quick Summary
The Calcutta High Court has ruled that the State GST Department cannot initiate proceedings if the Central GST Department has already begun action on the same subject matter. This decision was based on Section 6(2)(b) of the West Bengal Goods and Services Tax Act, 2017. The court set aside the State GST Department's notice and order because the Central GST Department had already issued a show cause notice for the same period and issue.
