Ltd. (2026) 41 Centax 428 (Tri.-GST-Delhi)<\/a><\/strong><\/pre>\n<h2><em>Judiciary and Counsel Details<\/em><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Dr Sanjaya Kumar Mishra,<\/strong> President &amp;\u00a0<strong>Shri A. Venu Prasad,<\/strong> Member (T)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><em>Facts of the Case<\/em><\/h2>\n<p>The matter arose from allegations that, on the reduction of GST rate on electronic goods, prices were not reduced commensurately, leading to profiteering under Section 171 of the CGST Act. This allegation was based on investigation and quantification by the Directorate General of Anti-Profiteering (DGAP). The assessee challenged the computation before the GST Appellate Tribunal (GSTAT). The matter was accordingly placed before the GSTAT.<\/p>\n<h2><em>GSTAT Held<\/em><\/h2>\n<p>The GSTAT held that if there is any variation of prices or costs on account of other factors, such as costs necessitating the setting off of such reduction of price, the same needs to be justified by the supplier, and that the inherent presumption of reduction in prices of goods and services is a rebuttable presumption. Where the supplier asserts reasons for offsetting such reduction, the same must be established on a cogent basis and must not be used as a device to circumvent the statutory obligation of reducing prices in a commensurate manner under Section 171 of the CGST Act. The GSTAT further directed DGAP to re-examine the computation and verify whether negative values were ignored, whether supplies to the CSD channel were erroneously included, and whether cost increases, including customs duty and price changes, were not considered. If any lapse is found, DGAP is to rework the computation on an evidentiary basis and furnish a supplementary report. Accordingly, the matter was remanded.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Case Details: DG Anti Profiteering, Director General of Anti-Profiteering, DGAP vs.
