Inside Gujarat Appellate AAR order refusing Input Tax Credit claim on buyback expenditure of Gujarat Narmada Valley Fertilizers & Chemical’s shares<\/p>\n

In an appeal filed by Gujarat Narmada Valley Fertilizers & Chemicals Ltd. (GNFC) against the ruling of the Gujarat Authority for Advance Ruling (GAAR) denying input tax credit (ITC) on expenses incurred for buyback of shares, the Two-Member Bench of Rajeev Topno, Member (SGST)* and Sunil Kumar Mall, Member (CGST)* rejected the appeal, holding that since buyback of shares constitutes a transaction in securities, which is neither a supply of goods nor of services under the Central Goods and Services Tax Act, 2017<\/a> (CGST Act), no ITC can be availed on such expenditure and reversal of common input credit is mandatory under Section 17(3)<\/a> of the CGST Act<\/a>.

Competition Commission of India<\/p>\n

‘Several key players act as competitive constraint’; CCI dismisses anti-competitive, abuse of dominance allegations against ICICI Securities, NSE & BSE<\/span><\/p>\n

A complaint was filed by the Informant under Section 19(1)(a)<\/a> of the Competition Act, 2002<\/a> (‘Act’), alleging violations of Sections 3 and 4 of the Act by ICICI Securities Limited (‘ICICI’), in alleged collusion with the National Stock Exchange (‘NSE’) and the Bombay Stock Exchange (‘BSE’). The four-member Bench comprising Ravneet Kaur (Chairperson), Anil Agrawal (Member), Sweta Kakkad (Member), and Deepak Anurag (Member) examined whether the standardisation of the Authorised Person (‘AP’) Agreement and ICICI’s termination practices contravened Sections 3(3), 3(4), and 4 of the Act. The Competition Commission of India (‘CCI’) observed that the agreement format stemmed from Securities and Exchange Board of India (‘SEBI’) regulatory framework aimed at investor protection and operational consistency. Therefore, it held that the enforcement of uniform AP Agreements by NSE and BSE did not constitute a concerted practice under Section 3(3) of the Act. The CCI noted that the securities broking industry in India was competitive and include several large players, and that ICICI did not hold a dominant position in the market. The CCI found no evidence of ICICI exercising significant market power or engaging in anti-competitive vertical restraints. The CCI thus held that there was no prima facie case of contravention of Sections 3(4) and 4 of the Act.<\/span> Read More HERE<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Income Tax Appellate Tribunal<\/p>\n

‘Escaped income is below Rs 50 lakhs’; ITAT quashes reassessment notice under S. 148 Income Tax Act issued beyond prescribed limitation of 3 years<\/p>\n

In the present case, an appeal was filed by the appellant-assessee against the impugned order dated 16-6-2025, passed by the NFAC, Delhi relating to assessment year (‘A.Y.’) 2017-18, whereby NFAC confirmed the action of the Assessing Officer (‘AO’) in upholding the validity of reassessment proceedings initiated under Section 147<\/a> read with Section 148<\/a> of the Income Tax Act, 1961<\/a> (‘Act’), although the reopening was barred by limitation as escaped income was less than Rs 50 lakhs and did not fall under the extended time limitation under Section 149(1)(b). Mahavir Singh (Vice President), observed that the escaped income in the present case was below Rs 50 lakhs and as per Section 149(1)(a), the notice under Section 148 could be issued only within 3 years from the end of relevant assessment year, i.e., upto 31-03-2021, whereas in the present case, the notice was issued on 09-02-2024. Thus, the Tribunal allowed the appeal and held that the notice under Section 148 was issued beyond the permissible period of limitation under Section 149(1)(a), therefore, the reassessment was void ab initio.

National Company Law Appellate Tribunal<\/p>\n

Resolution Professional to be appointed as liquidator unless replaced by Adjudicating Authority on grounds provided in Section 34 IBC: NCLAT<\/p>\n

The present company appeal was filed by the Resolution professional (‘appellant’) of Rajesh Landmark Projects (P) Ltd. (‘Corporate Debtor’), challenging the impugned order passed by the National Company Law Tribunal, Court V, Mumbai Bench (‘Adjudicating Authority’), which had allowed an interim application filed by the appellant seeking liquidation of the corporate debtor. However, instead of appointing the appellant as liquidator, it appointed Respondent 2, relying on the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Board of India (‘IBBI’) circular dated 18-7-2023 (‘Circular’). The Bench of Ashok Bhushan, J. (Chairperson) and Barun Mitra (Technical Member), stated that the legislative scheme of Section 34(1) of the IBC clearly intended the Resolution professional to be appointed as liquidator, with replacement being a discretionary act of the adjudicating authority based on the grounds specified in Section 34(4) of the IBC. Thus, the Tribunal allowed the appeal, stating that the impugned order insofar as it appointed Respondent 2 as liquidator could not be sustained. Since there were no grounds available under Section 34(4) of the IBC for replacing the appellant, the appellant was required to be appointed as liquidator.
