What the supreme court just settled
A trader in Srinagar buys goods worth lakhs from a registered supplier, pays the full invoice amount including GST, receives a proper tax invoice, and files his returns on time. Months later, he receives a Show Cause Notice from the GST Department: he is advised to reverse Input Tax Credit (ITC) along with interest at the rate of 18%, because the supplier never deposited that tax with the Government. The trader did nothing wrong. He had no way of knowing his supplier would default. Yet the law holds him responsible. Is that fair? Can it even be constitutional? This exact question travelled from an Assessing Officers desk all the way to the Supreme Court of India and in July 2026, the Court gave its final word. Every taxpayer, tax consultant, and departmental officer dealing with GST needs to understand what was decided and why. The provision at the heart of the dispute Section 16(2)(c) of the CGST Act, 2017 lays down one of the conditions for claiming ITC: the tax charged on a supply must have actually been paid to the Government by the supplier either in cash or through his own credit ledger before the recipient (buyer) can claim Input Tax Credit for it. Simply holding a valid invoice, having received the goods, and having paid the supplier is not enough. If the supplier pockets the GST amount instead of depositing it with the Government, the buyers ITC is denied, even though the buyer paid in good faith. For years, traders across the country argued this was grossly unfair punishing an honest buyer for someone elses default over which he has no control, since a buyer cannot see his suppliers GSTR-3B filings or bank account. How the case reached Supreme Court The case that finally settled the matter began, as most GST disputes do, at the ground level. A registered taxpayer M/s Bhandari Scrap Traders, was denied ITC by the Assessing Authority purely on the ground that his supplier has not paid tax to the Government. The demand was confirmed at the adjudication stage, and the matter moved through appellate proceedings without relief. Unable to get relief through Appellate Authority under Section 107, the taxpayer approached the Gujarat High Court by way of a writ petition, along with several similarly placed taxpayers (the lead case there was Maruti Enterprise v. Union of India). Before the High Court, the taxpayers argued that the other conditions of Section 16(2) a valid invoice, receipt of goods, and payment to the supplier already prove a transaction is genuine, and that Section 16(2)(c) should be read down to protect honest buyers, just as the Delhi High Court had once read down a similar provision under the Delhi VAT Act in the well-known On Quest Merchandising case. The Department argued that ITC is not a vested right but a statutory concession, available strictly on the conditions Parliament has laid down. It also pointed out that the buyer is not left without a remedy: under Section 41(2) of the CGST Act read with Rule 37A of the CGST Rules, once the defaulting supplier eventually pays the tax, the buyer can re-avail the credit that was earlier reversed. On 1 May 2026, the Gujarat High Court ruled against the traders. It held that Section 16(2)(c) is neither unconstitutional nor liable to be read down, distinguishing the GST framework sharply from the old VAT law. At the same time, the Court urged the Government to build a real-time, technology-driven system to verify supplier tax payments and recover dues quickly from defaulters, so honest buyers are not left in limbo. Aggrieved, the traders filed Special Leave Petitions before the Supreme Court. Interestingly, a separate High Court the Tripura High Court, in Sahil Enterprises v. Union of India had taken the opposite view just months earlier, reading down the same provision to protect bona fide buyers. This created conflicting positions across the country, making the Supreme Courts intervention necessary. What the Supreme Court decided In Bhandari Scrap Traders v. Union of India & Ors. (SLP (C) No. 23931 of 2026, decided 24 July 2026), a Bench of Justice Sanjay Kumar and Justice Sanjeev Sachdeva dismissed the batch of petitions. The Court expressed complete and respectful agreement with the Gujarat High Courts reasoning, holding that: - Section 16(2)(c) is constitutionally valid and does not need to be read down. - The GST scheme is fundamentally different from the old VAT regime, so precedents protecting bona fide buyers under VAT law cannot simply be transplanted into GST. - The buyer is not without recourse Sections 41, 73 and 74 of the CGST Act allow the Department to recover tax from the defaulting supplier, and the buyer can re-avail reversed credit once that recovery happens. - The Court reiterated that the Government should seriously consider a real-time verification mechanism so that honest purchasers are not repeatedly caught in this trap. With this ruling, the position that had been read down in Tripura effectively stands overtaken, and the field is now settled in favour of strict compliance. Why this matters For taxpayers, the message is unambiguous: paying your suppliers invoice in full, including GST, is not enough protection. Your credit depends on what your supplier does with that money afterward something outside your direct control but very much within your ability to guard against. Regularly checking GSTR-2B before filing returns, dealing only with compliant and verified suppliers, and building indemnity or tax-withholding clauses into supply contracts are no longer optional good practices they are now essential safeguards. For tax officials, the judgment removes ambiguity in adjudication and appeal. Denial of ITC under Section 16(2)(c), where the supplier has not paid tax, now rests on firm constitutional footing and need not be second-guessed on read-down arguments raised by taxpayers. Equally, officers should be mindful of the correlative duty the law places on the Department timely initiation of proceedings against defaulting suppliers under Sections 73/74, so that the reversal-and-re-availment mechanism under Rule 37A actually functions as the safety valve the Courts have relied upon to justify the provision. For the system as a whole, the ruling reinforces that ITC is a statutory concession, not an unconditional entitlement a principle the Supreme Court had earlier affirmed in Ecom Gill Coffee Trading. The real long-term fix, as both the Gujarat High Court and the Supreme Court have themselves suggested, lies with the Government: building the technological infrastructure for real-time, invoice-level verification of supplier tax payments, so that compliance failures by one party in the chain dont become financial punishment for another. Until that infrastructure arrives, vigilance on the buyers part remains the best protection available. The author is a JKAS Officer, presently posted as State Taxes Officer, Circle-C, Srinagar.

J&K power deficit shrinks from 19.1% to 0.1% in 12 years
Srinagar, Aug 06: In what could be termed as a major achievement, Jammu & Kashmir has generated 1,96,415.59 Million Units (MU) of electricity from all sources between 2014-15 and 2025-26, while simultaneously slashing its annual energy shaortfall from 19.1 per cent to just 0.1 per cent during the period, the data on the latest state-wise power generation and supply by Ministry of Power revealed. According to the details, accessed by Rising Kashmir, the Union Territory generated 14,687.20 MU in 2014-15, which rose to 15,313.52 MU in 2015-16 and 15,703.82 MU in 2016-17. Generation stood at 15,261.93 MU in 2017-18, increased to 16,853.78 MU in 2018-19, and reached its highest level of 18,537.25 MU in 2019-20. Power generation remained above 17,000 MU for the next three financial years, recording 17,441.97 MU in 2020-21, 17,489.83 MU in 2021-22 and 17,170.62 MU in 2022-23. It subsequently declined to 16,282.93 MU in 2023-24 and 15,595.82 MU in 2024-25, before recovering to 16,076.92 MU in 2025-26. During the first quarter of 2026-27 (Till June 2026), the UT generated 5,812.82 MU. Overall, Jammu & Kashmir generated around 1,96,415.59 MU of electricity between 2014-15 and 2025-26. With the output for April-June 2026, the cumulative generation touched over 2.02 lakh MU. The figures indicate that while the Union Territory has maintained relatively stable electricity generation over the years, it continues to rank in the middle tier among states and Union Territories. It generates considerably more electricity than several smaller states and UTs, including Goa, Sikkim, Tripura, Mizoram, Meghalaya, Nagaland, Arunachal Pradesh, Andaman & Nicobar Islands and Lakshadweep. However, Jammu & Kashmir remains well behind the country's major power-producing states such as Gujarat, Maharashtra, Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Rajasthan and Karnataka, each of which records annual generation several times higher than the UT. The national power generation from all sources increased from 11,10,392.27 MU in 2014-15 to 18,47,941.44 MU in 2025-26, reflecting a steady rise in electricity production across the country, the data reveals. Official data indicated that the annual power demand has crossed over 3,500 MW in recent years, while local generation often falls well short of the requirement during winter, necessitating large-scale imports of electricity. Moreover, the power supply data shows a clear improvement in Jammu & Kashmir over the last 12 years, with the gap between energy requirement and availability narrowing sharply. The data also points to a marked improvement in Jammu & Kashmir's power supply position over the years. The Union Territory's annual energy requirement increased from 16,214 MU in 2014-15 to 20,185 MU in 2025-26, while energy availability rose from 13,119 MU to 20,166 MU during the same period. Consequently, the gap between demand and supply narrowed significantly. The energy not supplied dropped from 3,095 MU (19.1%) in 2014-15 to just 19 MU (0.1%) in 2025-26. After remaining above 3,000 MU between 2016-17 and 2019-20, the deficit declined steadily to 2,551 MU in 2020-21, 1,524 MU in 2021-22, 317 MU in 2022-23, 277 MU in 2023-24, 90 MU in 2024-25, and 19 MU in 2025-26, indicating a near-elimination of the annual energy shortfall.
