What Is GSTAT Appeal Filing at Jodhpur Bench

The Jodhpur bench covers seven western Rajasthan districts: Jodhpur, Bikaner, Jaisalmer, Barmer, Pali, Sirohi, and Nagaur. Businesses file appeals under Section 112 against adverse orders.

The bench serves the marble and granite mining belt (Jodhpur-Pali-Sirohi), Barmer petroleum operations (Vedanta/Cairn oil fields), Jaisalmer tourism and border trade, Bikaner food processing (bhujia, namkeen), and Nagaur agri-commodity markets.

Illustrative Scenario
