 Penalty Amount under Section 122(1)(xii) Section 122(1)(xii) of the CGST Act, 2017, provides for a penalty for failure to obtain registration under Section 22 or Section 24.

The penalty amount is: - ₹10,000 or - An amount equivalent to the tax evaded or the tax not deducted or short-deducted or deducted but not paid, whichever is higher.

However, the penalty amount cannot exceed ₹25,000 for failure to obtain registration.

Section 122(1)(xii) applies when a person who is required to register under Section 22 or Section 24 has failed to do so.

Penalty amount: The higher of Rs 10,000 or an amount equivalent to the tax evaded due to non-registration, up to Rs 25,000 where there is no intent to evade tax. If intent to evade is established, the penalty can go up to the full tax amount.

For the reply letter, the key points to address are:
1. When registration was mandatory (turnover crossing the threshold or the date of first inter-state supply or supply through e-commerce).
2. Whether you had genuinely exceeded the threshold or were unaware of the requirement.
3. Whether you have now obtained registration voluntarily. Under Section 122(6), voluntary disclosure and cooperation with the department is a mitigating factor the adjudicating authority must consider.
4. Request for condonation under Section 73 (demand without fraud) rather than Section 74 (fraud/suppression), if the non-registration was inadvertent.

Attach your current GST registration certificate, turnover records showing when the liability arose, and any evidence that tax was paid even without formal registration.
