Calcutta HC Instructs an Increase in Benefit on Rectified GSTR 9 Due to Filing of Wrong Export Invoice

The Calcutta HC for a case asked to extend the advantage on the rectified GSTR 9. It was discovered that GSTR 9 did not permit an allegation of filing an incorrect export invoice and asked to extend the advantage on rectified GSTR 9.

Advocate Mr Chakrabarty emerged on behalf of Agnus Exim Private Limited. The applicant was directed to the refund sanction order on 8th December 2022 and furnished that the authority despite recognising the fact that the applicant had rectified its mistake by filing of GSTR 9 return has not permitted it as it was discovered that export invoices to the tune of Rs.1,70,61,224.07 were filed incorrectly in the GSTR1 as export with tax payment instead of export without payment of tax.

It was argued that once the authority had acknowledged that the aforementioned error had been rectified by filing GSTR9, the benefit of such rectification should have been extended to the petitioner.
