Court stays interest & penalty proceedings, directs timely filing of counter affidavits in challenge to NAA order.
The Delhi High Court has directed respondents to file counter affidavits within two weeks in a case challenging the National Anti-profiteering Authority's order imposing 18% interest on excess amounts collected by the Petitioner. The Court stayed interest and penalty proceedings until further orders, referencing previous cases. The matter is set for the next hearing on 07th December, 2020, with the order to be uploaded on the website and shared with counsels via email.
Issues: Challenge to impugned order of National Anti-profiteering Authority (NAPA) imposing interest at 18%, Quashing of Rule 133(3)(b) of CGST/HGST Rules, Declaration on chargeability of interest under Section 171 of CGST Act.
Analysis: The petition before the Delhi High Court challenges the order issued by the National Anti-profiteering Authority (NAPA) dated 13th December, 2019, which imposed interest at the rate of 18% on the excess amount collected by the Petitioner from buyers until the date of repayment within three months. The Petitioner seeks to quash Rule 133(3)(b) of the CGST/HGST Rules, claiming it is ultra vires the parent Act. Additionally, the Petitioner requests a declaration that no interest should be charged in the absence of a specific provision under Section 171 of the CGST Act. The counsel for the Petitioner informs the Court that the principal amount has been repaid to the flat buyers, prompting the Court to issue notice to the respondents.
The Court directs the respondents to file counter affidavits within two weeks, allowing for a rejoinder affidavit before the next hearing date. Notably, the Court refers to previous orders in cases such as Phillips India Limited Vs. Union of India, M/s Samsonite South Asia Pvt. Ltd. Vs. Union of India, and M/s Patanjali Ayurved Ltd. Vs. Union of India, staying the payment of interest amount and penalty proceedings by the Petitioner until further orders. The matter is scheduled for the next hearing on 07th December, 2020, with the order to be uploaded on the website immediately and shared with the counsels via email.
