Non Deduction of TDS on GST

Under Section 51 of the CGST Act to be read with CGST Rule 66:

What are the consequences and further course of action in the event of failure of deducting TDS under the captioned provision?

Will merely ignoring the matter that "in an eligible case TDS on GST has not been deducted" create any problem later?

Quick Summary
This discussion addresses the repercussions of failing to deduct Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) on Goods and Services Tax (GST) as per Section 51 of the CGST Act. It clarifies that simply overlooking non-deduction can lead to significant problems later on. The consequences include paying interest at 18% per annum on the deducted amount and potential penalties determined under Sections 73 or 74 of the Act, similar to penalisation for non-deduction under the Income Tax Act.

Interest and possible penalty are the consequences. Below are extracts from Section 51

(6) If any deductor fails to pay to the Government the amount deducted as tax under sub-section (1), he shall pay interest in accordance with the provisions of sub-section (1) of section 50, in addition to the amount of tax deducted. (interest 18% p.a.)
(7) The determination of the amount in default under this section shall be made in the manner specified in section 73 or section 74. (Show case notice sections - 3/5 years)

Thanks for the response, CA Akshay Hiregange
 

But in the given scenario TDS has not been deducted at all. Like Section 271(C) of the Income Tax Act, will there be penalisation for non-deduction under the CGST Act?

Yes the above provisions in previous response are the penalisation for non-deduction of TDS under GST
