 Last fortnight had been a happening one, with several
 notifications and circulars having been issued to implement
 various recommendations of the 45th GST Council meeting.
 With every GST council meeting turning out to be a mini budget,
 professionals and all stakeholders have to spend their mid-night
 oil to read understand the last minute changes.
 It would be better if such changes are introduced with sufficient
 time for the industry to assimilate the changes in their systems.

 Advisory for Taxpayers regarding generation of EWB
 where the principal supply is Supply of services.

 1. Representations have been received from various trade bodies stating
 that they are not able to generate EWB bill for movement of those goods
 where their principle supply is classifiable as a service, since there is no
 provision for generating E-way Bill by entering SAC (Service Accounting
 Code-Chapter 99) alone on the E- way bill portal.

 2. To overcome this issue, the taxpayers are advised as below:

 a) Rule 138 of CGST Rules, 2017, inter alia, states “Information to be
 furnished prior to commencement of movement of goods and generation
 of e-way bill.-(1) Every registered person who causes movement of goods
 of consignment value exceeding fifty thousand rupees….” Thus, E way bill
 is required to be generated for the movement of Goods.

 b) Therefore, in cases where the principal supply is purely a supply of
 service and involving no movement of goods, the e-way bill is not
 required to be generated.

 c) However, in cases where along with the principal supply of service,
 movement of some goods is also involved, e-way bill may be generated.
 Such situations may arise in cases of supply of services like printing
 services, works contract services, catering services, pandal or shamiana
 services, etc. In such cases, e-way bill may be generated by entering the
 details of HSN code of the goods, along with SAC (Service Accounting
 Code) of services involved.

On-going through the records of
the case, the provisions of
Section 28 (5) have been fully
complied and have been
endorsed by the authority who
has investigated the case and
issued the show cause notice.
Under these circumstances,
revision of show cause by way of
Corrigendum       after     such
compliance and subsequent
adjudication of the case is not
permissible. It defeats the very
purpose of the provisions of
Sections 28(5) and Section 28(6)
of the Customs Act, 1962.
Moreover, the penalty was
imposed under Section 114A,
even though the same was not
proposed in the Show Cause
Notice. Therefore, the impugned
order     suffers   from    legal
infirmities and such an order
cannot be upheld.
