Bombay HC stays GST interest recovery in pending appeals
In short
The Bombay High Court has stayed recovery in pending GSTAT appeals over GST interest. A Taxscan summary says no pre-deposit is needed under Section 112(8) of the GST Act when the full tax has already been paid.
This matters for taxpayers who are challenging only the interest part of a GST demand and for cases waiting before the appeals tribunal.
What the reporting says
The Bombay High Court stayed recovery in pending GSTAT appeals after a dispute over GST interest alone, according to a Taxscan summary. The ruling affects taxpayers contesting interest demands separately from the underlying tax dues.
Why it matters
The reported court action concerns GST interest disputes where the tax dues have already been paid.
