Section 16(2) CGST Act | ITC Distribution by ISDs Valid Only After Statutory Conditions Met : Madras HC Strikes Down Forced Monthly Credit Allocation

Madras High Court ruled that Input Service Distributors cannot distribute Input Tax Credit merely upon invoice receipt but must first satisfy all conditions under Section 16(2) of the CGST Act. The judgment invalidates Rule 39(1)(a) to the extent it mandates same-month distribution, protecting businesses from forced allocation of ineligible credit and ensuring compliance with statutory entitlement.
