Success Stories: Out-of-the-Box Thinking in Action
Tribunal Triumph in Hosur
One of our standout cases involved representing a Mumbai-based client with lubricant operations in Hosur. The lubricant was supplied at a concessional rate of 4% against Form 17, meant for raw material purchases in Tamil Nadu. However, the assessing officer disallowed this under Form 17, imposing an additional 8% sales tax, interest, and penalties amounting to approximately 55 lakhs.
Despite losing appeals twice at the Hosur stage, the client turned to us. We argued that Form 17 is usage-based, not product-based, and since the lubricant was a raw material for manufacturing ink, it qualified for the concessional rate. Our logical argument won the case at the tribunal, securing a favorable decision for our client without further questions.
