मशीन पंजीकरण गैर-अनुपालन जुर्माना (Machine Registration Non-Compliance Penalty)
Definition
GST law amendment via Finance Bill 2024 mandates that manufacturers of pan masala, gutkha, and similar tobacco products register packing machinery with GST authorities. Penalty provision: up to ₹1 lakh per machinery unit for non-compliance. The online GST SRM-I form is required for machine registration, with GST SRM-II (monthly returns) filed by 10th of succeeding month. Manual compliance tracking leads to missed deadlines and cumulative penalty exposure.
Key Findings
- Financial Impact: ₹1,00,000 per machinery unit for non-registration (statutory penalty under Finance Bill 2024). For mid-sized manufacturer with 5-10 packing lines: potential exposure of ₹5-10 lakh per compliance cycle if registration lapses.
- Frequency: Monthly (GST SRM-II filing deadline = 10th of succeeding month). Quarterly audit risk.
- Root Cause: Manual machinery tracking, decentralized registration data, lack of automated deadline alerts, absence of integrated GST portal workflows.
