What will happen for the penalty paid for the waived period 2017 sep to dec 2019 will it be repaid?
It is commonly seen that people break laws and rules but do not wish to get punished for it. People do not wish to pay taxes etc, but demand a lot of Government. To maintain discipline, Government should impose fines and penalties and should stop extending deadlines and giving waivers. Doing this is a bad practice.
