fast track disposal camps for service tax

Wednesday, October 13, 2004

Government has launched a Scheme for speedy disposal of all pending technical offence cases of service tax. Under this scheme, Fast Track Disposal Camps will be organized for Service Tax Adjudications. The jurisdictional Chief Commissioners are to specify the dates and places where such fast track disposal camps would be held upto November 30, 2004. Any person to whom a show cause notice for imposition of penalties for contravention of any of the provisions of the Chapter V of Finance Act 1994 or rules made there-under has been issued, can avail the opportunity by representing his/her case before the adjudicating authority during the camp. The adjudicating authority will dispose of the cases on the spot.
