Dear Experts,
My friend received an order u/s 74 to pay interest and penalty. Earlier, he was served with a notice to pay the GST along with interest and penalty as he had claimed excess ITC in FY 2018-19. He paid GST only and intimate to department to accept DRC-03 and drop proceeding. He didn't pay Interest and penalty, as in that financial year, there was no output liability, thus ITC was not utilized.
Now, the department served an order u/s 74 to pay interest and penalty.
Please guide, what can he do? The interest and penalty amount is so small, roughly around 7 thousand only. Should he file an appeal or any other way to close this order?

Dear Sir/Madam,

I am seeking your expert opinion regarding the correct GST applicability, rate, and HSN classification for one of our products.
We are dealing with a product named “Millet-Based Probiotic Drink”, which is a packaged, non-alcoholic, fermented beverage made from millets, containing live probiotics. It is marketed as a spicy digestive/probiotic health drink, with zero sugar and zero preservatives.
There is confusion regarding whether this product should be classified as:
• a non-alcoholic beverage under Chapter 22, or
• a functional / probiotic / nutraceutical product under any other appropriate heading,
and accordingly, whether the applicable GST rate should be 5%, 12%, 18% or any other rate.

We request your guidance on:
1. The most appropriate HSN code for this product,
2. The correct GST rate applicable, and
3. Any relevant notifications, circulars, or case laws supporting the classification.
Your professional clarification will help us ensure correct compliance and avoid future disputes.
Looking forward to your valuable advice.
