Penalty against wrong invoice date

This query is : Resolved 

24 February 2019 Dear Sir

i am nitin panchal , I have one question , My goods was send from Ahmadabad to indore on 22/2/2019 , but one mistake done by me unfortunately i have written 24/2/2019 on sales invoice instead of 22/2/2019 but at that time i have generate e way bill that date is right . Only the difference between eway bill & sales invoice is the date & truck was catch by GST office , he charged 200% of GST amount.

MY Gst amount is 18000 he charged me 36000, is that any law of this mistake , this is human error only the date is mismatch , all material data & value is same.

reply me as soon as possible

24 February 2019 from the details provided in query - e way bill date is correct and invoice date is different from e way bill ..

There may be a scenario where invoice date is different from e way bill .

As per sec 31 of CGST Act , a registered person shall issue tax invoice before or at the time of removal of goods
.
Further ,e way bill format provides scope to write document number and document date in addition to e way number & e way date .
In my view , if e way bill date is correct , it should not be considered as default for e way purpose .

However , sec 122 (1)(1) of CGST Act states - where a taxpayer issues incorrect invoice he is liable to pay penalty of Rs. 10000/- or amount equal to tax evaded ( whichever is higher )

Since you have not evaded any tax in the given case , a penalty of Rs 10000/- can only be imposed under sec 122

24 February 2019 he charged me 36000₹. So can i appeal in the court?
