Supreme Court Quashes Tata Steel GST Notices, Seeks Reply on Odisha Mining Demand
The Supreme Court quashed GST show-cause notices against Tata Steel totaling over Rs 1,700 crore in tax demands and penalties related to alleged irregular input tax credit claims from FY2018-19 to FY2022-23. The court ruled that tax authorities failed to establish fraud, wilful misrepresentation, or suppression of facts necessary to invoke extended limitation under Section 74 of the CGST Act. Tata Steel contested the notices, arguing permissible credit claims and jurisdictional issues. Separately, the Supreme Court sought Tata Steel's response to Odisha government's appeal against a Rs 4,314 crore demand for alleged mineral dispatch shortfalls.
