E-way Bill
THYAGARAJAN KALYANASUNDARAM
Dear Experts,
One of my clients has been sent goods worth more than Rs.1 lakh from their warehouse without issuing an e-way bill due to a mistake. However, he generated an e-invoice as per the notification issued by the government which accompanied the goods. While in transit the officer intercepted the vehicle and imposed a penalty of 200% on the value of the goods u/s 129 of GST Act,2017. Is there any way out to get the refund by filing an appeal? Also kindly provide any related citations.
Thanks in Advance.
