We have moved one import consignment from Bangalore to Chennai for which CHA has given manual Form KK. Now check post authorities says Form KK would have done through online only and will not accept manual Form KK. They have issued a notice to pay the penalty.
Is it the responsibility of customer / CHA to issue the online Form KK or the transporter is responsible for carrying the manual one ?
Customer / CHA says they are not aware of creating online Form KK and issued the manual one. Since the customer first time coming across this kind of issue, whether he has to pay the huge penalty or is there any way to get it waived off.
Pls advise.
Penalty Imposed for Using Manual Form KK Instead of Required Online Version for Import Consignment Movement A query was raised regarding the movement of an import consignment from Bangalore to Chennai, where the authorities rejected a manual Form KK and demanded an online version, resulting in a penalty notice. The customer and Customs House Agent (CHA) were unaware of the online requirement. Responses suggested discussing the issue with the commissioner to resolve it, as the manual form indicated no tax evasion intent. It was advised that procedural lapses could be addressed by convincing the authorities of the genuine mistake. Consulting a tax advisor or agent before such transactions was also recommended to avoid penalties. (AI Summary)
