Quick Summary

The Allahabad High Court has ruled that for the period of February 2020 to August 2020, businesses can claim Goods and Services Tax (GST) Input Tax Credit (ITC) cumulatively under Rule 36(4) of the CGST Rules. This means the 10% limit for un-uploaded invoices should be calculated across the entire period, not month-by-month. The court quashed a previous demand against M/s. Vivo Mobile India Private Ltd. and ordered the refund of wrongly recovered tax amounts with interest.
