AI Summary

Filing excise return without depositing duty may invite interest, penalty and departmental scrutiny unless duty with interest is promptly paid.
Submitting an Excise return without depositing duty constitutes non-compliance that typically attracts interest and penalty and triggers a departmental red remark leading to heightened scrutiny, enquiries or audit. Immediate deposit of duty with accrued interest together with written intimation to the authority is presented as a practical means to mitigate penalty risk; deliberate or unexplained delay increases the likelihood that the department will treat the omission as willful and pursue penalties.
