Limitation period to raise demand under Section 73 & 74 of CGST Act, 2017

One of the fundamental legal principles is that an element of certainty must be brought to the legal proceedings. The law of limitation is based on this principle. Any action under any law has to be taken within the limitation period prescribed otherwise uncertainty would prevail eternally. The provisions of limitation period gain all the more importance in the legislation dealing with indirect taxes, where the tax burden is to be passed on to the next level at every stage. Therefore, a tax law must have a limitation period, beyond which demands cannot be raised.
