Gujarat HC says no GST on transfer of state land leases

The ruling—in the Suyog Dye Chemie vs Union of India case—brings significant relief to companies that faced the burden of retrospective demand for 18 per cent GST on such lease transfers, amounting to liabilities of approximately ₹8,000 crore only in Gujarat and Maharashtra.
