Appellant Liable for Interest & Penalty under Finance Act
The appellant was found liable to pay interest under Section 75 of the Finance Act, 1994 for failing to pay service tax on time. Additionally, the appellant was held responsible for the penalty under Section 76. The judge ruled that the appellant must pay both the disputed interest and penalty within a specified timeframe, emphasizing the non-negotiable nature of the payment obligations and setting a compliance deadline. The appellant's request for waiver of pre-deposit was rejected, and failure to comply within the set timeframe would result in the rejection of stay applications.
