URGENT GST GRIEVANCE – UNFAIR BANK ATTACHMENT
We filed an Application for Rectification of Order on 8th Jan 2025 under Notn. 22/2024-CT (dated 08.10.2024). Yet, a bank attachment was carried out 10 days ago, even though:
- ITC rectification is allowed as per Sec 16(5) & (6) of CGST Act
- GSTR-9 is already corrected & set off
- No ITC difference exists—officer passed an order based on comparison statement mismatch
Why is this wrong?
The rectification process is still pending, but recovery action was taken without considering the correction.
Legal provisions allow rectification, yet the officer is enforcing recovery before the case is reviewed.
This unnecessary harassment of taxpayers goes against ease of doing business.
Immediate Action Needed:
- Lift the bank attachment immediately while rectification is under process.
- Clarify whether filing rectification grants a stay on recovery actions—taxpayers shouldn’t be penalized for procedural delays.
- Ensure GST officers review updated GSTR filings before taking coercive action.
This is a serious compliance issue
If rectification applications are ignored, what’s the purpose of Notn. 22/2024-CT? Why stress taxpayers despite valid corrections?
Why should taxpayers suffer due to procedural delays?
