Important GST Refunds matter Order on “Intermediary”- Punjab & Haryana High Court

The Punjab and Haryana High Court has held that the Genpact India cannot be treated as an “intermediary” and therefore allowed a refund of Rs.26,34,61,625/- in favor of the Company.

It was in the case of M/s Genpact India Private Limited that the court held that GST authorities had inappropriately blocked the GST refund to the petitioner. The petitioner challenged an order of the GST department wherein it has been held that the services provided by the petitioner are in the nature of “Intermediary Services” as per Section 2 (13) of the IGST Act and do not qualify as “export of services” in terms of Section 2 (6) of the Act and thereby rejecting the refund claim of un-utilized Input Tax Credit (ITC) used in making zero rated supplies of services without payment of Integrated Goods and Service Tax.

Allowing relief to the assessee, the Court held that the services provided by the petitioner are in the nature of “Intermediary Services” as per Section 2 (13) of the IGST Act and do not qualify as “export of services” in terms of Section 2 (6) of the Act and thereby rejected the refund claim of un-utilized Input Tax Credit (ITC) used in making zero rated supplies of services without payment of IGST.
