Concessional corporate tax option under section 115BAA survives procedural documentary lapses when statutory compliance and earlier exercise are estab...
The CESTAT dismissed the appellant's challenge, upholding adjudication that goods were mis-declared affecting classification, valuation and anti-dumping duty liability; the Tribunal found the importer's first-check and wrongful-shipment defences unsubstantiated and held the goods liable to confiscation under ss.111(l) and 111(m) of the Customs Act, 1962. The CESTAT affirmed that confiscation is antecedent to any redemption; permission to re-export does not preclude imposition of a redemption fine under s.125 or the levy of penalties, and therefore the adjudicating authority lawfully imposed confiscation, redemption fine and penalties. Appeal dismissed; impugned orders sustained.
