ROC Bangalore imposed a penalty for 907 days of continuing default due to acquisition of a second DIN, holding it contravened Section 155.
The adjudicating officer found that holding multiple DINs contravened Section 155 of the Companies Act. Despite the director’s claim of inadvertence and voluntary surrender, a reduced penalty of 50% of the maximum was levied.
The Bill seeks retrospective validation of assessment orders despite DIN-quoting errors. Assessments linked to a lawfully generated DIN may no longer be invalidated on technical grounds.
The High Court upheld the GST assessment order, ruling that delay in filing the writ and presence of an auto-generated reference number defeated claims of invalid DIN and unsigned notices.
The ROC Bangalore held that obtaining and retaining a second DIN in violation of Section 155 of the Companies Act attracts penalty under Section 159. Despite the error being inadvertent and later rectified, the prolonged default of 3075 days resulted in a reduced but substantial penalty.
The ROC Bangalore imposed penalty for holding two Director Identification Numbers in violation of Section 155 of the Companies Act, 2013. Even though the second DIN was obtained inadvertently and later surrendered, the continuing default for 1227 days attracted adjudication and monetary penalty.
The amendment clarifies that minor defects in quoting the DIN will not invalidate assessments. As long as the order references a computer-generated DIN in any manner, procedural lapses will not defeat otherwise valid proceedings.
The authority held that failure to file DIR-3 KYC violates Rule 12A and attracts penalty under section 450. DIN deactivation does not absolve ongoing compliance responsibility.
The court examined whether assessment orders could survive when DRP directions lacked a DIN. It held that such directions were invalid, leading to dismissal of the Revenue’s appeals.
Penalties were levied after directors’ DINs were found deactivated for non-compliance with Rule 12A. The key takeaway is that even procedural defaults invite statutory penalties.
