GST Update on SC Stays orders of Allahabad & Kerala HC

GST Update on SC Stays orders of Allahabad & Kerala HC

Apex Court Stays orders of Allahabad & Kerala HC restraining recovery of taxes and due
 

  • In a recent landmark decision, Allahabad HC on March 19, 2020 had directed State Government Authorities, Financial Institutions and other administrative bodies to defer Recovery Proceedings due to Corona effect. It was deferred till April 6, 2020.
  • However, the Centre took the matter urgently in Apex Court. It has been seen that department is taking any adverse decision of High Court to the Apex Court on very next day. Following the same lines, this landmark reasonable judgement of High Court was appealed in Highest Court of India by the department.
  • On account of the urgency in the matter the Centre's petition was that the Restraint on recovery of taxes will put the government at bias due to the closure of financial year.

       Furthermore, it was stated that since there is a mechanism for making online payment of taxes without human-to-human contact, there is no need at all for the High Courts to pass such an order, which effectively stops people from paying taxes.

  • It was also contented by the Centre that order for deferral of payment would hit the Centre's Kitty by over Rs. 2 Lakh crores on a month on month basis.

      Due to HC orders, Govt may also lead to severe crunch in cash flow and liquidity crisis and will also hurt the govt’s monthly expenditure and its effort to fight against this Pandemic of COVID-19.
 
      Even those who are financially capable to pay taxes on time would also wait till 6th April, since it has been the common experience that almost 90% of the taxes are being paid only on the last dates or 1 /2 days before.
 

  • The Supreme Court stayed the orders passed by the High Courts of Allahabad and Kerala yesterday on March 20, 2020. Hence, the department is free to take action against taxpayer for recovery of dues.
