NEW DELHI: The Directorate General of GST Intelligence (DGGI) has detected a case of input tax credit irregularity of more than ₹160 crore involving a network of non-existent and fake firms, the finance ministry said on Thursday.
The Supreme Court said on May 19 that the GST council's recommendations were not binding on the Union and states. However, they do have a persuasive value because of the country's cooperative federal structure. A bench of Justices DY Chandrachud, Surya Kant, and Vikram Nath also stated that the Centre and states had concurrent rights to legislate on GST, but that the council must work together to reach an acceptable solution. According to Article 246A, both Parliament and the state legislatures have equal authority to legislate on taxation issues.
