The CBIC has prescribed the procedure for recovering legacy dues under earlier tax laws through the GST framework pursuant to Sections 142(6)(b) and 142(7)(a) of the CGST Act, 2017.

Section 142 of the Central Goods and Services Tax Act provides detailed transitional provisions regarding proceedings relating to output liability, revision of returns, and recovery of tax arrears from legacy Central Excise and Service Tax regimes.

Taxpayers undergoing assessments must ensure payments are executed through electronic liability registers under GST DRC forms to avoid penal attachment.
