[Yatin Bhopi]

Dear experts

Recently we have got order from CESTAT asking us to pay the duty with interest. We wish to pay the duty and interest. My query is:

Whether duty can be paid through CENVAT account or It has to be paid through PLA like interest.

Please guide.

Dear,

interest paid thru PLA. and duty paid thru cenvat account if balance is available.

[Mahir S]

Yes sir, interest is required to be paid through PLA, however you may pay the duty amount through cenvat if not specifically provided in the Tribunal,s order

Dear Yatin,

Interest and Penalties are required to be paid through PLA/GAR on line and duties/taxes can be paid through CENVAT credit Account.

AI Summary

Payment method for duty and interest: duty may use CENVAT if allowed, interest and penalties via PLA/GAR. Interest and penalties arising from a tribunal order should be paid through the Personal Ledger Account/GAR, while the duty/tax component may be discharged from available CENVAT credit unless the tribunal order or law expressly prohibits CENVAT utilisation, in which case payment must be made through PLA.
