Tobacco product makers to face Rs 1 lakh penalty, if packing machines not registered with GST authorities
The details of existing packing machines, newly-installed machines, along with the packing capacity of these machines, have to be furnished in Form GST SRM-I. However, there was no penalty notified for the same.
Based on the recommendation of the GST Council, the tax authorities had last year notified a special procedure for registration of machines by tobacco manufacturers. Image Courtesy: Reuters.
