जीएसटी में केसी-केसी व कितनी-कितनी है पेनेल्टिया – Various Penalties in GST.  

जीएसटी में केसी-केसी व कितनी-कितनी है पेनेल्टिया – Various Penalties in GST. 

जीएसटी में भी पूर्व वैट क़ानून की तरह की कई पेनल्टी के प्रावधान किये गए है. एसा लगभग हर कर-क़ानून में होता ही है. चूकि यह क़ानून एक्साइज (Excise), सेवाकर (Service Tax) व वैट क़ानून (Vat Law) का मिक्सचर है, इसलिए सभी कानूनों की भारी-भारी पेनल्टी (Heavy Penalties) इस क़ानून में आ चुकी है. लेकिन इस क़ानून में पेनल्टी की संख्या बहुत ज्यादा है तथा सजा के प्रावाधान भी.

पेनल्टी की प्रकृति को कॉलम-3 में हिन्दी में भी समझाने का प्रयास किया है तथा पेनेल्टियो की संख्या बहुत ज्यादा है, अत: हमने इनकी प्रकृति अनुसार कई अलग-अलग विषयो में  बांटा है –

  1. छोटी-छोटी गलतिया व चोरियों के लिए पेनल्टी (Penalties for Small Offences),
  2. रिटर्न से सम्न्बंधी पेनल्टी (Penalties Relating to Returns), 
  3. नियमित रिटर्न के अलावा अन्य स्टेटमेंट / रिपोर्ट्स से सम्न्बंधी पेनल्टी (Penalties for Other Statements etc.), 
  4. माल परिवहन से सम्बंधित पेनल्टी (Penalties Relating to Transportation), 
  5. माल व वाहन  जब्ती संबंधी दण्ड व प्रावधान (Provisions Relating to Seizure of Goods and Vehicles), 
  6. कर-चोरी संबंधी अपराध के सम्बन्ध में (Heavy Penalties relating to Tax Evasion) व 
  7. सरकारी अधिकारियों / कर्मचारियों व उनके सहयोगियों के विरूद्ध दण्ड आदि (Offences by Government Authorities and their Associates).

हमने पेनल्टी के सभी प्रावधानों का सरल हिन्दी में छोटे रूप से रूपांतरण करने का प्रयास किया है तथा अंग्रेजी में लिखे प्रावधानों को भी कुछ छोटा करने का प्रयास किया है. लेकिन किसी भी उलझन (Confusion) की स्थिति में व क़ानून की व्याख्या के लिए अंग्रेजी में लिखे / प्रकाशित प्रावधानों को ही अंतिम माने.

इस लेख में दिए जा रहे चार्ट के चोथे  कॉलम में विभिन्न पेनल्टी की रकम लिखी गयी है. जिन मामलों में जेल की सजा का प्रावधान है तो उस सजा की अवधि भी बतायी गयी है. हमने प्रयास कर  कुछ स्थानों पर हिन्दी रूपांतरण (Hindi Translation) भी किया है.

इसमे से एक चार्ट में रिटर्न लेट भरने या नहीं भरने की  पेनल्टी दिखने में अधिकतम रू. 5,000/- ही लेकिन कुल 37 रिटर्न भरने होंगे, तो यह पेनल्टी प्रत्येक रिटर्न के लिए है. यानिकी सभी 37 रिटर्न के लिए पेनल्टी अधिकतम रू. 1,85,000/- तक हो सकती है, अत: पाठक इसे ढंग व गहराई से समझे तथा इससे बचने के लिए अपने-आप को अनुशासित करने का भी प्रयास करे.

इस मामले में एक और विचारणीय विषय है कि इनमे से कुछ पेनल्टी आटोमेटिक (Automatic Penalty) है जिसके लिए न तो कोई सुनवाई का मोका मिलेगा और न ही कोई नोटिस आयेगा. जबकि कई बड़ी पेनल्टी ऐसी है जिनके लिए बाकायदा नोटिस भी आयेगा और सुनवाई का मोका (Opportunity of Hearing) भी मिलेगा. हालाकि इस विषय पर इस लेख में चर्चा नहीं की जा रही है.
