Analysis of this section
Introduction The appellate authority for advance ruling shall be constituted in each state/UT. The State Government may, on the recommendations of the Council, notify any Appellate Authority located in another State or Union territory to act as the Appellate Authority for the State. Analysis The appellate authority constituted in each State/UT shall be deemed to be the Appellate Authority in respect of that State/UT which will entertain appeals against any advance ruling that is passed by the AAR of that State/UT. However, similar to Section 96 in respect of AAR, a State Government may, on the recommendations of the Council, notify any Appellate Authority located in another State/UT to act as the Appellate Authority for the State. The Appellate Authority for Advance Ruling shall consist of members representing the Central GST and the State GST. The Chief Commissioner of central tax as designated by the Board and the Commissioner of State tax shall constitute the Appellate Authority for Advance Ruling. Comparative Review This is a new concept hitherto not seen in the pre-GST regime. Under erstwhile tax laws, there was no provision for an appellate authority for advance ruling. Related Sections
