Is penalty u/s 76 needs to be paid voluntary or only if it is raised by a demand notice.

 

you need to revise retrun & pay tax & interest accordingly. due date shall be taken as 5th only as one day given for online payment is grace day only. rest penalty can be paid voluntarily.

Penalty payable @ 1% pm on st or 100 rs per day which ever is higher subject to max 50% of tax.

Can we pay ST & Interest without penalty

Penalty is mandatory cant escape.

if you don't pay now, dept will recover this during audit. you cannot escape from interest or penalty.
