Finin2min Q&A

Can the CGST Act alone decide a State tax matter?

No. The corresponding SGST or UTGST law, local commencement and amendments must be checked.

Can a Central notification be assumed to have a local counterpart?

No. Capture the exact State or UT instrument and effective date.

Can another State's e-way bill threshold be used?

No. Apply the transaction-date notification of the State or UT where the movement rule is relevant.

Which High Court decision should be prioritised?

Supreme Court law prevails nationally; then prioritise the jurisdictional High Court and check conflicting decisions and later law.
