📌 Portal Upload = Valid Service under GST 📣, but the Calcutta High Court orders a fresh hearing. 🎯 The appeal was dismissed as time-barred due to the portal-only service.

M/s Carry Co, Prop: Mr. Kajal Kumar Garai vs Union of India & Ors., WPA 2774 of 2025; 09-Jun-25

Court Judgment:

📌 Held that service on the portal is valid and complete service under Section 169(1)(d). No need to exhaust Clauses (a)-(c) first.

❌ Disagreed with Madras HC in P.N. Traders.

📌 However, found that the Appellate Authority erred by not applying mind to the condonation of delay plea.

🧾 Set aside the Appellate Order dated 24.12.2024.

⚖️ Directed fresh adjudication on merits by Appellate Authority, subject to the Assessee paying ₹25,000 to the High Court Legal Services Committee.

Key Takeaways:

🔹 Section 169(1) provides alternative (not sequential) methods of service.

🔹 Upload on GST portal is sufficient and complete service under Clause (d).

🔹 Appellate Authority must not mechanically dismiss appeals for delay without examining condonation pleas.

🔹 Divergence from Madras HC view in P.N. Traders upheld by Calcutta HC.
