Under valuation of goods in invoice cannot be a ground for detention of the goods and Vehicle

Last updated: 17 January 2022
Quick Summary
The Chhattisgarh High Court ruled that a discrepancy in the valuation of goods on an invoice is not a valid reason to detain goods and vehicles under Section 129 of the CGST Act. The court found the detention and seizure of goods by the Revenue Department to be unlawful. Consequently, the court set aside the detention order and any related tax and penalty demands, ordering the release of the seized goods.
