Order from Department U/s 74

This query is : Resolved 

26 January 2026 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?

26 January 2026 Amount being small, advisable to close the matter by paying the demand.
