Winning Recovery Case. Date of Institution - 25.01.2024 Date of Judgment - 03.07.2024 Whenever a client institutes a case, the first and most common question is, "How long will it take?" My answer: as quickly as possible. By diligently completing every task at every hearing, we can even resolve cases in just 6 months as well. Attaching the proof!

Linking the date of limitation of SCN to the date of "issue" : Kindly see my previous post on this subject : https://lnkd.in/giAQtc7T Sec 73 (2) and sec 74 (2) provide time limit for SCN. This time limit is based on the date of "issue" of the notice in sharp contrast with the date of "service" as is there in CE/ST/CUS. This provision seems unreasonable and defeating the purpose of limitation. Because, how can the counter party viz. the assessee / noticee establish the date of issue of the SCN ? Probably it is linked to the date of issue because the understanding is that it will be uploaded on GSTN (any way uploading summary - DRC 1 is mandatory). Therefore, the date of issue and date of service is the same. But even then, if the word service was used, then there would have been no problem. Recently I came across a case where SCN u/s 73 was dated 28.5.2024 and was received by post in June 2024 and DRC 1 and SCN was uploaded on GSTN in June 2024. In this case, the date of service is June 2024 which is beyond limitation. But the assessee does not have any specified mechanism to establish the date of issue. This is unjust. Views welcome. :Adv.

“GTG - Support you can trust.” As seen in Route One’s latest issue - Page 40. 👀

You will never be able to score well in the VARC section of CAT…………… Unless you can learn to identify these common traps used by examiners repeatedly ✅ 1)Hasty Generalisations ❌ The examiner will usually take a fact that is mentioned in the passage and use very similar words from the passage, but, upon closer examination of the option, you will find that an option that seems correct and in line with the passage may have words like, ALWAYS, ONLY, SOLELY, COMPLETELY, EVERYWHERE, NONE, EVERYONE. These words generalise what is given in the passage and apply it universally. Such words and generalisations are major red flags. Identify them and run in the opposite direction 🏃♂️ 2)Usage of double negatives in framing the question ❌ All of the following DON’T support the passage EXCEPT? NONE of the following support the findings of the passage EXCEPT? Such double negatives have been dominating the exam for the past 2 years. Read the question carefully and answer. 3)Attractive word trap❌ The examiner will take some words directly from the passage and put them in the option, as it is, making it seem attractive to us, BUT upon closer examination, you may find that the second part of the option is COMPLETELY OUT OF CONTEXT/ a generalisation/ against the passage, making it a wrong option. Each and every word of the option must be clearly examined before marking it. The entire option must be absolutely correct and in the context of the passage. 👉 To be continued in my next post

Focus on the FAEs from here on. "Nothing to fear but fear itself" FDR 1933 Nothing to fear in this exam with the best notes and back-up recordings. The live sessions will take place as follows; FR core - 17th & 18th July (9am -12) Audit - 24th & 25th July (9am-12) Invitations for the FR sessions now being sent out. The audit invitations will not be issued until two weeks before the scheduled dates

In the case of two recent college closures (Fontbonne University and Notre Dame College), the accounting firms used to audit those colleges made no reference in the 2022-2023 audited financial statements that suggested the those colleges might not continue as a going concern. Yet, both closed.  A reading of those 2022-2023 audited financial statements gives no indication that the auditors saw the end of either as a 'going concern'. This begs the question: "Why did these audited financial statements not indicate that these two colleges were in danger of closing" - ceasing to be a going concern? In the coming weeks, I will engage in a project to match 2023 & 2024 list of closed private colleges with their financial statement status as a going concern or not.
