Payment of penalty imposed under custom act

[Adarsh Gupta]

We have actually been trying to figure out a mechanism of how to make payment for customs penalty.

Apart from the form number i.e Gar-7 we were not finding any guidelines for the same.

In our case the Assesse is a unregistered person , and the OIO has been issueeiby air cargo exports.

Can someone help us understand how to fill the form in case of unregistered person..

Till date, Interest and penalties if levied/imposed, then, these are required to be deposited manually, i.e. through GAR-7 Challan by getting the counter signature of the customs officials and putting the order no. on the GAR-7. However, representations have been given to Finance Ministry to make necessary changes in ICEGATE to make payments of Demanded Customs Duties/Additional Duties/Interest and penalties. Hope it will be done in this budget.

AI Summary

Customs penalty payment must be deposited manually via GAR-7 with countersignature while ICEGATE online facility is pursued. Penalties, interest and demanded customs duties are to be deposited manually via GAR-7 challan with customs counter signature and the order number recorded; this applies to unregistered assessees and remains the practice pending ICEGATE enhancements to accept online payments following representations to the Finance Ministry.
