Recovery of penalties should proceed despite pending appeals unless an explicit stay is granted by the appropriate authority. Adjudicating Authorities in Regional Authorities and SEZs must initiate recovery of imposed penalties where no specific stay has been granted, because filing an appeal or review does not itself stay recovery. Authorities are required to review cases with penalties outstanding, commence recovery where appropriate, and furnish a report of all such cases and recovery action taken to the Directorate within thirty days.
