GST detention penalties require hearings, cannot exceed show-cause notices, and do not arise merely from lawful batch transportation.
Case-Laws
GST
GST detention penalty proceedings require consideration of objections, a statutorily required personal hearing, and reasoned decision-making; an order issued on the notice date without these safeguards breaches natural justice. Section 75(7) bars confirmation of a penalty above the amount proposed in the show-cause notice, with any correction requiring timely disclosure. Failure to upload a Form GST MOV-09 order on the common portal does not alone invalidate proceedings. Under Rule 55(5), goods supplied under complete prior invoices may be transported in batches using a delivery challan; item-wise invoicing or absence of the original invoice does not itself establish tax evasion or justify detention penalty.
