09 December 2023 URGENT HELP PLEASE.
GOODS ARE TRANSPORTED INTER-STATE. THERE IS ONE CLARICAL MISTAKE IN THE E-WAY BILL. IN THE E-WAY BILL VEHICLE NUMBER WAS NOT MENTIONED. THE GST OFFICER CONFISCATED GOODS AND CHARGED 200% OF TAX PENALTY FOR REALEAS OF GOODS.
WHAT SHOULD BE THE COURSE OF ACTION AND HOW CAN GET BACK THE AMOUNT AS THE PENALTY IS MORE THAN 5 LAC FOR JUST ONE UNINTETIONAL MISTAKE?
PLEASE HELP IN THIS REGARD.

12 December 2023 you have filled part B or not? if not goods cannot be transported.
If only vehicle number was not mentioned you can appeal against the imposition of penalty and argue there that there was no intention to evade tax and failure to mention vehicle number was unintentional which does not show intent to evade tax.
