Jaipur:<\/strong> In a significant order safeguarding a taxpayer’s statutory right to appeal, the Rajasthan High Court has directed the State GST authorities to take a decision on the issuance of a temporary GST ID within 30 days, observing that procedural and technical hurdles should not deprive an assessee of an effective appellate remedy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Division Bench of Justice Arun Monga and Justice Maneesh Sharma disposed of a writ petition filed by M\/s Sri Raghavendra Swami Traders and another, while expecting the competent authority to expeditiously decide the petitioner’s application seeking a temporary GST ID in accordance with law.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The dispute arose after the GST Department initiated recovery proceedings pursuant to a confiscation order imposing penalty and fine of \u20b996.35 lakh under Section 130 of the Central Goods and Services Tax Act, 2017.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the petitioners, goods were being transported from Karnataka to Nagpur under a valid e-invoice and e-way bill when the vehicle was intercepted by GST authorities on December 2, 2025. Although the driver produced all relevant documents and the goods underwent physical verification, proceedings were initiated because the vehicle had deviated towards Jaipur instead of its intended destination. The petitioners maintained that the deviation was an inadvertent mistake, which was immediately explained to the authorities through an email.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite their explanation, the department issued a show-cause notice proposing confiscation of the goods and subsequently passed a confiscation order on January 22, 2026. The petitioners alleged that the proceedings were vitiated by procedural irregularities, including the failure to issue mandatory summary notices and orders prescribed under the GST Rules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The petitioners had earlier challenged the confiscation order before the High Court but withdrew the petition after being granted liberty to file a statutory appeal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Court had also directed the appellate authority to decide the appeal on merits without raising any objection regarding limitation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, the petitioners submitted that they were unable to avail the appellate remedy because the GST Department had created a temporary GST ID in the driver’s name but never communicated its password. Without access to the GST portal, they argued, filing the statutory appeal had become impossible despite repeated representations to the authorities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When the matter came up before the Division Bench, the Court sought instructions regarding the status of the temporary GST ID. Significantly, counsel appearing for both the petitioners and the State informed the Bench that they were unable to clarify whether the temporary ID had been issued or activated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The State’s counsel submitted that the petitioner’s application for issuance of a temporary GST ID would be considered by the competent authority in accordance with law and contended that no further judicial directions were necessary. The petitioners agreed to the proposed course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Accepting the submissions, the High Court disposed of the writ petition directed that the competent authority would take an appropriate decision on the application for issuance of a temporary GST ID as expeditiously as possible, but not later than 30 days from the date of uploading of the order.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
