He cannot do like this. It is very dangerous for him. Tommorow he has to repay with heavy interest and penatly. He cannot collect more and even if he collects be mistake the same has to be remitted to the government or returned to the client.

It is big trouble to your client in future. Since the actual rate of ST is 10.3% you cannot charge more than that and also paying to the Govt Only 10 %. please ask them to pay with interst for avoiding penalty and other consequnces
