Rule 96(10) is ultra vires to Section 16 of IGST Act and unenforceable on account of being manifestly arbitrary: HC?
In the instant case, the petitioner challenged the validity of Rule 96(10) of the CGST Rules, 2017. The Rule 96(10) was inserted with effect from 23-10-2017 by Notification No. 53/2018-Central Tax, dated 9-10-2018.It provided that persons claiming a refund of IGST on the export of goods or services, should not have received supplies on which the benefit of certain notifications was availed. However, the concept of zero-rated supply in the provisions of Section 16 of the IGST Act, 2017, indicate that there is to be no export of taxes and on the goods being exported the exporter is entitled to a refund of the IGST paid on the export of goods.??
The High Court noted that Section 16 of the Integrated Goods and Services Tax Act, 2017 does not impose any restriction on the right of the exporter to claim a refund of IGST paid on the export of goods or tax paid on input services or input goods used in the export of goods or services. The Court also noted that the provisions of Rule 96(10) of CGST Rules have undergone a series of amendments and the Rule as it presently stands imposes certain restrictions in the matter of refund of IGST.??
Thus, the Court held that Rule 96(10) is ultra vires section 16 of the IGST Act and unenforceable on account of being manifestly arbitrary as it produces absurd results not intended by the legislature. The High Court also directed that any action that was initiated or had culminated in an order against the petitioner on the basis of provisions contained in rule 96(10) would stand quashed.?
