There is no liability for GTO [ operator/ owner] only on the booking agents who issue LR, CN who are called GTA.
If liability for past years exists then The company can now under the provisions of Section 73 have an option to volutarily pay the laibility wherein the total amount due maybe calcuated, interest thereon calcuated @ 13%pa till 1.4.2011 and later at 18%pa, penalty of 25% calcuated. These maybe paid on which no notice would be issued.
If manufacturing goods then credit for the ST paid on inward/ intermittent freight wouldbe eligible and outward freight maybe available. [ disputed by revenue as of today]
