CBIC Sets 60-Day Timeline for Prosecution Complaints Under CGST Act 2017; Documentation Must Be Ready in 50 Days.
The GST Investigation wing of CBIC has outlined procedures for sanctioning prosecution under the CGST Act, 2017. If arrests are made during investigations, efforts must be made to file a prosecution complaint within 60 days, with proposals forwarded to the sanctioning authority within 50 days. Officers must ensure all documentation and witness lists are prepared before submitting proposals. Prosecutions can be initiated before case adjudication if deemed necessary, with reasons recorded and forwarded. The sanctioning authority can independently assess the case's seriousness for prosecution. Once sanctioned, prosecutions should be filed promptly, and any delays reported to the sanctioning authority.
