Order from Department U/s 74

Dear Experts,
My friend received an order u/s 74 to pay interest and penalty. Earlier, he was served with a notice to pay the GST along with interest and penalty as he had claimed excess ITC in FY 2018-19. He paid GST only and intimate to department to accept DRC-03 and drop proceeding. He didn't pay Interest and penalty, as in that financial year, there was no output liability, thus ITC was not utilized.
Now, the department served an order u/s 74 to pay interest and penalty.
Please guide, what can he do? The interest and penalty amount is so small, roughly around 7 thousand only. Should he file an appeal or any other way to close this order?

Hello,

I am seeking an expert opinion on whether it makes financial sense to continue holding or exit a minority stake in a warehouse business. Key details below:

- Business: Warehouse / cold storage (partnership firm)
- Ownership: 12.5% minority stake
- Project start: Feb 2022
- Private capital invested: ₹1 Cr (borrowed at 18% p.a.)
- No private repayment so far due to bank loan priority
- Effective private debt today: ~₹1.72 Cr
- Expected private debt when repayment starts (~2 years): ~₹2.05+ Cr

Best operating year (FY 2024–25):

- Revenue: ~₹2.05 Cr
- Operating surplus before loans: ~₹1.26 Cr
- Bank loan repayment: ~₹1.0 Cr/year
- Free cash (entire business): ~₹25–27 L/year
- Cash to us (12.5%): ~₹3–4 L/year
- Expected post–bank-loan cash to us: ~₹15–16 L/year

Additional context

- Major commodity stored: mirchi
- Revenue depends heavily on rotation; low prices have capped growth
- Land value has appreciated from ~₹1.0 Cr to ~₹1.7 Cr

Questions

1. Does holding make sense long term given 18% private capital and minority ownership?
2. Since this is a partnership firm, can any business loss or depreciation be used to offset personal salary income?
3. Does refinancing the 18% loan make sense? If so, what realistic interest rates are currently achievable (secured / LAP / business loan)?
4. Is an exit valuation of ~₹1.8–2.0 Cr reasonable for a strategic buyer increasing control?

Looking for a candid, numbers-based opinion.
Happy to share detailed workings if required.

Dear Sir / Madam,

I seek your expert guidance on a specific income-tax issue relating to a proposed Demat and Trading Account for my son, who is a Person with Disability (PwD) suffering from Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD).

Background:
My son Shounak Ghosh is an adult (major) and is on the autism spectrum. Owing to his condition, he is considered of unsound mind and cannot independently operate a trading account. I am his legal guardian and intend to open a Demat and Trading Account in his name, to be operated by me as guardian, in accordance with SEBI guidelines.

I have referred to SEBI’s “FAQ on Account Opening by Persons with Disabilities”, which permits account opening in the name of a PwD with operation by a guardian, subject to KYC and guardianship requirements.

I have also received the following clarification from Zerodha, the broker with whom I am exploring account opening:

“The child is considered an individual taxpayer, and the income from the account will be assessed in his name, subject to standard income tax slabs.”

My specific queries are:

1. In such a case, who will be legally liable for income-tax obligations arising from trading activities:

> the PwD account holder, or

> the legal guardian who operates the account on his behalf?

2. Will the income (capital gains, dividend, interest, etc.) be:

> assessed entirely in the name of the PwD, or

> clubbed with the guardian’s income under any provision of the Income-tax Act?

3. Are there any special provisions, exemptions, or reporting requirements applicable when:

> the account holder is a PwD (autism), and

> the account is operated by a guardian under SEBI-compliant arrangements?

4. From a compliance and future-dispute perspective, is it advisable to:

> file a separate ITR in the PwD’s name, or

> adopt any additional safeguards or declarations?

Your guidance will help me proceed correctly and compliantly before opening the account.

Thank you for your time and expert advice.


Warm regards,
Bikash Ghosh
(Legal Guardian)

Dear Sir/Madam,

I am seeking your expert opinion regarding the correct GST applicability, rate, and HSN classification for one of our products.
We are dealing with a product named “Millet-Based Probiotic Drink”, which is a packaged, non-alcoholic, fermented beverage made from millets, containing live probiotics. It is marketed as a spicy digestive/probiotic health drink, with zero sugar and zero preservatives.
There is confusion regarding whether this product should be classified as:
• a non-alcoholic beverage under Chapter 22, or
• a functional / probiotic / nutraceutical product under any other appropriate heading,
and accordingly, whether the applicable GST rate should be 5%, 12%, 18% or any other rate.

We request your guidance on:
1. The most appropriate HSN code for this product,
2. The correct GST rate applicable, and
3. Any relevant notifications, circulars, or case laws supporting the classification.
Your professional clarification will help us ensure correct compliance and avoid future disputes.
Looking forward to your valuable advice.
