    <title>Former CHA employee&#039;s F-Card revocation and Rs. 50,000 penalty set aside due to unsubstantiated charges under CBLR 2018</title>
    <link>https://www.taxtmi.com/highlights?id=89602</link>
    <description>CESTAT allowed the appeal of a former CHA employee whose F-Card was revoked and penalty of Rs. 50,000 imposed under CBLR 2018 Regulations 10(a), 10(b), 10(d), 10(m), 10(q) and 18. The appellant&#039;s F-Card became non-operational when his associated CHA firm&#039;s license was suspended. CESTAT found appellant acted as freelancer in individual capacity, not as F-Card holder, when allegedly facilitating import clearances. The tribunal held allegations were based solely on importer&#039;s statement without concrete evidence establishing regulatory violations. Since charges were unsubstantiated, both F-Card revocation and penalty were set aside. Appeal disposed favorably.</description>
