Introduction

GST Law contains detailed provisions to carry forward the input tax credit earned by the GST Registered Persons [“Registered Person“] before 1st of July, 2017. Such credit [left out credit] was to be carried forward/claimed in GST Forms Tran-1 and Tran-2 [T1 and T2] to be filed on GST portal ‘before 27.12.2017’. For the GST Registered Persons who could not carry forward/claim left out credit or who could not correctly carry forward/claim left out credits have been granted a one-time opportunity under the orders of honorable Supreme Court of India.

“In accordance with the above referred directions of Hon’ble Supreme Court, vide order dated 22.07.2022 in the matter of Union of India vs. Filco Trade Centre Pvt.
