Goods can be impounded for lapses under GST, says Kerala High Court
Authorities impounded a car being sent by a dealer from Puducherry to Thiruvananthapuram for personal use of his customer without an e-way bill. It has to be generated if goods worth more than Rs 50,000 are transported, but is not applicable on goods for personal consumption. The matter went to the Kerala high court. The court said the vehicle could be impounded for lapses under the GST laws. But, the litigant is free to press for his arguments that it was for personal use through adjudication. However, he will have to prove the car being transported stand exempted from the rigours of the GST regime.
