Case Laws Customs HC

HC held that under the unamended Section 3(12) of Customs Tariff Act, 1975, imposing interest, penalty, and redemption fine on IGST was without legal authority. Following the precedent in Mahindra & Mahindra Limited, the court quashed the impugned order levying interest and penalties. The amendment to Section 3(12) by Finance Act, 2024 is prospective, applicable only from 16th August, 2024. Additionally, a trade notice allowed regularization of imports under Advance Authorization Scheme that could not meet pre-import conditions, further supporting the court's decision to set aside confiscation and redemption fine. Petition allowed.
