Finance Act, 2025 Amendment prospective; No 10% penalty pre-deposit for appeals arising from pre-01-10-2025 GST proceedings: GSTAT
The Tribunal held that the proviso inserted to Section 112(8) of the CGST Act by the Finance Act, 2025 does not operate retrospectively. Since the proceedings had commenced prior to 01-10-2025, the appellant’s vested right of appeal could not be burdened by a subsequently introduced condition requiring pre-deposit of 10 % of the penalty.
