Dear expert, One of my client received an email from GST preventive unit for discharging tax liability with interest as per sec 50 and penalty of 15% on Output. My query is whether Penalty of 15% is mandatory. Facts of the case: Payment received in third quarter (Oct-Dec 2024) and cheque dated 30-sep-2024 and govt department deducted GST TDS and credited GST TDS in quarter 2 our client has not declared sales in Q2 in the mean while received a mail from preventive unit compelling payment of 15% penalty on GST output and client has declared his sales in Q3 (Oct-Dec 2024) and discharged liability with interest and requested waver of penalty but tax authority now issued the SCN with 25% penalty. Is there any way for wavier of penalty.
