The Punjab and Haryana High Court has issued notices to the finance ministry, the commerce ministry and the Goods and Services Tax (GST) Council for restricting the benefits of advance authorization license for exporters under the GST regime.

An advance authorization license is issued to allow duty-free import of inputs, which are physically incorporated in export products.

The Central Bureau of Indirect Taxes and Customs and the commerce ministry had inserted a clause of “pre-import” for exempting imports done on advance authorization licenses from integrated GST.

The change in condition has led to the Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI) issuing notices to exporters.

A similar petition is pending in Gujarat HC.
