Even after paying VAT penalty u/s 29(8) of Maharashtra Value Added Tax for late payment and filing of return of VAT & CST,sales tax department has levied penalty u/s 9(2A) of CST Act 1956 of Rs.5000/-. Is this penalty was imposable on us even after paying VAT Penalty. Is there any legal process to avoid this penalty.

dear member both the penalty is different VAT department & Diff. state i.e. one from Maharashtra and other from Goa. There is no other option is available to avoid penalty u/s.9(2A)in case of delay payment and return. In exceptional case If there is no transactions between inter state or there is strong reason for delay payment and return, then u can avoid the penalty u/r. 9(2A) of CST act 1956 through your officer. This is my opinion, let's see others view.
