Two Schemes of GST Law
 Suppose an evasion or default is detected by proper officer under CGST Law.
 In most of the cases, if default is there in CGST Law, there will be automatic default in
SGST Law
 As both Laws are separate laws, penalty proceedings are also separate.
 So wherever in the GST if there is fixed amount of penalty is leviable which is not linked to
tax amount, both penalties will be payable. Under CGST and under SGST.
 Buy One Get One Free *conditions apply”
 And if unfortunately evasion of IGST is also detected
 Then separate penalties for
 CGST - SGST and IGST
 Buy One Get Two Free *conditions apply”
Penalties : Important point to keep in Mind
 See Section 6 of CGST Act
 Who is the proper officer in CGST Act will also be proper officer in SGST Act
 Proper officer issuing order under CGST Act will also issue order under SGST Act
 Similar provisions are there in SGST Act
 So here important point to keep in mind is that we are not dealing with 1 GST Law.
We are dealing with 3 Laws.
 CGST Law
 SGST Law
 IGST Law
 Penalty and prosecution provisions are independent in each of such laws
Penalties : Important point to keep in Mind
 See section 20 of IGST Law
 Provisions relating to CGST shall mutatis mutandis apply in case of IGST
 Forth proviso says “in cases where penalty is leviable under CGST Act and SGST Act or
UTGST Act, penalty leviable under this Act shall be sum total of the said penalties
Two Schemes of GST Law
What will happen in case of Prosecution?
 Whether there will be single term sentence?
 Or sentence will be in addition (1+1+1)?
Section 132 : Prosecution
Meaning of “Tax” under this section – Explanation to section 132
 “Tax” shall include the amount of
 tax evaded,
 input tax credit wrongly availed or utilised
 Refund wrongly taken
 Under the provisions of CGST Act, SGST Act, IGST Act and UTGST Act and cess
levied under compensation to states act.
 So considering this provision, in my view prosecution can only be once.
