Interior work isn’t always a sunk GST cost. In a recent relief for taxpayers, GSTAT allowed ₹11.23 lakh in ITC on showroom fit-outs and interior carpentry because the GST component was not capitalised. What’s your view? Share it in the comments.

🚛 **LONGER ROUTE ≠ GST EVASION!**

⚖️ **Big Relief for Transporters & Businesses!**

The GST Appellate Tribunal (GSTAT), Varanasi Bench, has quashed a **₹6.48 lakh penalty imposed under Section 129** of the GST Act.

📌 **What happened?**

A truck carrying goods took a longer route to avoid difficult hilly terrain. GST authorities suspected tax evasion and imposed a penalty of ₹6,48,366.

âś… **What did GSTAT decide?**

✔️ GST law does not mandate a specific transportation route.

✔️ The goods were accompanied by valid invoices and e-way bills.

✔️ The longer route was chosen for genuine safety reasons.

✔️ There was no evidence establishing an intention to evade tax.

đź’ˇ **Key Takeaway:** Merely choosing a longer or alternative route does not automatically amount to GST evasion. Genuine reasons, valid documents, and supporting evidence matter.

📚 **Case Reference:** Bitchem Asphalt Technologies Ltd. v. Prakash Yadav | GSTAT Varanasi | 22 September 2026 | Appeal No. APL/18/VRN/2026.
