Dear Sir,

We are a manufacturer and we sale the goods to Uttarakhand state on which Road permit is applicable for pass the boarder. At the time of Passing the Merrut Check post the commercial officer found that in our one excise invoice there is no sing of Authorized Signatory. So he seize our truck and send demand notice to us foe deposit the specified amount for relies the truck. We deposit this amount and relies our truck.

My query is this deposit amount which we deposit for relies the truck is refundable ?

Please help me if any one have any idea regarding this issue.

AI Summary

Deposit taken for release of goods may be recoverable if no further action; file appeal to claim refund.
Deposit taken at a commercial checkpost to secure release of goods for an unsigned excise invoice may be recoverable if no further action is taken; the consignor should approach the competent authority and, where appropriate, file an appeal or objection with supporting documentation because such payments are often treated as deposits pending resolution but may be treated as penalties or trigger departmental assessment.
