AAR ruling of another distinct GSTIN holder even under same brand can’t be applied bindingly to a different GSTIN holder with an independent business
The Hon’ble Madhya Pradesh High Court in the case of Mahendra Singh held that an Advance Ruling (AAR) issued in the name of another distinct GSTIN holder cannot be mechanically applied to a different GST-registered person, and the adjudicating authority must independently examine the facts of the case instead of relying on non-binding precedent.
