02 May 2011 Dear Sir,

Even after paying VAT penalty u/s 29(8) of Maharashtra Value Added Tax for late payment and filing of return of VAT & CST,sales tax department has levied penalty u/s 9(2A) of CST Act 1956 of Rs.5000/-. Is this penalty was imposable on us even after paying VAT Penalty. Is there any legal process to avoid this penalty.

02 May 2011 dear member both the penalty is different VAT department & Diff. state i.e. one from Maharashtra and other from Goa. There is no other option is available to avoid penalty u/s.9(2A)in case of delay payment and return. In exceptional case If there is no transactions between inter state or there is strong reason for delay payment and return, then u can avoid the penalty u/r. 9(2A) of CST act 1956 through your officer. This is my opinion, let's see others view.
