<h1>Delhi Service Tax Mandates E-Payment for Rs. 50L+ Taxpayers; Non-Compliance Penalties Begin December 2007.</h1> The Commissionerate of Service Tax in New Delhi has mandated electronic payment for service tax for those who paid Rs. 50 lakhs or more in the previous or current financial year. This initiative aims to enhance convenience, reduce fraud, and cut costs associated with manual payments. Despite available e-payment facilities through authorized banks, some assessees continue using manual methods. To enforce compliance, the Service Tax Commissionerate, Delhi, has instructed divisional officers to penalize non-compliant assessees from December 2007. Assessees facing e-payment difficulties are encouraged to contact designated officials for assistance.
