ORDER An order dated 22.12.2025 is assailed in this writ petition only insofar as it pertains to the excess claim of Input Tax Credit (ITC).
2. Learned counsel for the petitioner invited my attention to the details available on the respondent’s portal and pointed out that the amount available as per GSTR-3B towards ITC is Rs.41,64,833.27 and the amount available as per GSTR-2B is Rs.41,65,029.95. Without taking these aspects into consideration, learned counsel contends that the tax proposal was confirmed merely because of an inadvertent error in the annual return.
3. Mr.R.Sethu Prabakaran, learned Government Counsel (Tax), accepts notice for the respondent.
4. The tax demand on the other heads dealt with in the impugned
order is not being contested by the petitioner. As regards the alleged excess claim of ITC, it appears prima facie on examining details from GSTR-3B and GSTR-2B returns that ITC of about Rs.41.65 lakhs was available. These details are verifiable by the Tax Officer from the portal. In view of non-consideration thereof, interference is warranted only insofar as the tax demand of excess claim of ITC is concerned. The writ petition was also lodged within the condonable period for filing statutory appeal. https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis

5. Considering the above aspects, the impugned order is set aside only insofar as it pertains to Defect No.1 (excess claim of ITC). As a consequence, the matter is remanded for re-consideration. After providing a reasonable opportunity to the petitioner, fresh order in respect of defect No.1 shall be issued within three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order.
6. The writ petition is disposed of on the above terms. Consequently, connected miscellaneous petitions are closed. There shall be no order as to costs. 01.06.2026 Index: Yes/No Neutral Citation: Yes/No mmi To The Assistant Commissioner, Vadavalli Assessment Circle, Commercial Tax Building, Dr.Balasundaram Road, ATT Colony, Gopalapuram, Pappanaickenpalayam, Coimbatore – 641 018. https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis
