Judiciary and Counsel Details

    • Rajiv Magoo & T.R. Ramnani, Member

Facts of the Case

The applicant was a trader & manufacturer of agrochemical products. It was registered under GST and having two GSTIN in Maharashtra under same PAN. It filed an application of advance ruling to determine whether transaction of transfer of business by way of merger of two GST registrations or distinct persons would be exempted under the GST law.

AAR Held

The Authority for Advance Ruling observed that the change in constitution of business is essential for transaction to be considered as transfer of business as a going concern. The transaction of transfer of business by way of merger would not qualify to be transfer of going concern to another person if units were holders of same PAN and they were merely distinct persons. Hence, the provisions of Para 4(c) of Schedule II of CGST Act, 2017 would not apply in this case. Therefore, the impugned supply would be treated only as supply of goods and exemption under SI. No. 2 of the Notification No. 12/2017-Central Tax (Rate) dated 28th June 2017 shall not be available.
