Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the penalties applicable under Section 129 of the CGST Act when goods in transit are intercepted due to contravention. It explores two scenarios for calculating the total payment required to release goods, including tax and penalty amounts, depending on whether the transporter comes forward for payment.

In your case
TOTAL PAYMENT FOR RELEASE OF GOODS = Tax + Penalty as below

Tax = 80,000 * 18% = 14,400
Penalty = 50% of value of goods before tax
= 50 % * 80,000 = 40,000

Total = 14,400 + 40,000 = 54,400

BUT ICAI TAKEN Below View (MY ANSWER ALSO MATCH WITH YOU(May 19 Sug)
 

If XYZ does not come forward for payment of tax and penalty (It has been assumed that tax
has been paid on the goods)
= [Rs. 80,000 × 100% (50% under CGST plus 50% under SGST/UTGST)] – [Rs. 80,000 ×
18%] = Rs. 80,000 - Rs. 14,400 = Rs. 65,600
