| Interpretation of Circulars, Clarifications, Instructions & Orders with Judicial Pronouncements under GST Laws, by CA P H Motlani and Advocate Jatin Sehgal in the Mahajan & Motlani series from GSTJ (Goods and Service Tax Judgments), sets the administrative guidance issued under GST beside the court decisions that have interpreted, applied or overridden it. Covering the circulars, clarifications, instructions and orders issued under the Central GST Act, the Integrated GST Act and the State GST Acts since the tax came into force, it gives a detailed analysis of each circular paragraph under structured headings and arranges the material both section-wise and subject-wise, so a practitioner can see at once what the department has said on a point and what the courts have made of it.

Interpretation of Circulars, Clarifications, Instructions & Orders with Judicial Pronouncements under GST Laws by CA P H Motlani and Advocate Jatin Sehgal — part of the Mahajan & Motlani series from GSTJ (Goods and Service Tax Judgments) — sets the administrative guidance issued under GST beside the court decisions that have interpreted it. This is the Edition 2026-27, paperback.
In GST practice a circular is often the first thing a department officer cites and the first thing a taxpayer challenges. Circulars bind the department but not the taxpayer or the courts, and a clarification that goes beyond the statute can be read down or set aside. Knowing what a circular says is therefore only half the work; the other half is knowing whether a court has agreed with it. This book puts both halves on the same page.

How the Book Works
Each circular is broken down paragraph by paragraph and analysed under headings, so that the specific clarification relevant to a question can be located without reading the whole instrument. The court decisions that have considered the same point are placed with it — whether they have followed the department's view, read it narrowly, or held it contrary to the statute.
The section-wise arrangement lets the reader begin from the provision in issue and see every piece of guidance and every ruling on it. The subject-wise arrangement lets the reader begin from the problem — input tax credit, place of supply, valuation, classification, refunds, registration, demand and recovery, e-invoicing and e-way bills — and work back to the law.
The authors acknowledge the contribution of Shri Vijay Deshmukh, Shri Vinit Bendwal and Smt. Vineeta Solanki in compiling the material.

Why Choose This Book?
A circular read on its own can mislead. The same clarification may have been endorsed by one High Court, read down by another and settled by the Supreme Court, and an adviser who cites the circular without the case law risks giving the department's view as if it were the law. By pairing each piece of guidance with the judicial pronouncements on it, this book shows the position as it actually stands.
It sits naturally alongside GSTJ's companion title Circulars, Clarifications, Instructions & Orders with Analysis: that volume centres on the guidance itself, while this one is organised around how the courts have interpreted it.
