Pankaj Agarwal : Sec 70 of CGST Act. We are registered in the state of Chhattisgarh in GST. Is other state CGST officers have power or is they are proper officer who can issue Summons for the enquiry or any investigation. Please suggest what the Law says...

UMRAO singh: Ever state proper officer has power of a jurisdiction area only. Only on that jurisdiction area he can summon. He can pass it to jurisdiction area of the dealer

fardin Parekh: goods already delivered without generation of e way bill and reached to buyer but after 2 years cgst department give us summons under sec 70 of cgst act 2017 so they have any power to arrest in such case after statment done in summons ?
