Can a third person file complaint regarding custom fraud
14-Jun-2023 (In Customs & Central Excise Law)
My query is limited to knowing as to what action can be taken by a "non-interested third person" who comes to know that a company is importing something for Rs. 500/-, actual cost of which is 20,000/-. Now this certainly is to avoid custom duty etc. But is there any reward for a public person coming forward to complaint about it?
A suitable reward upto 5% of the amount recovered can be given to any informer who gives information regarding the whereabouts, assets, movable and immovable properties of persons or companies from whom arrears of duty, tax, fine, penalty etc. are recoverable under the Customs Act, 1962, the Central Excise Act, 1944 or Service Tax Act, 1994. The quantum of reward will be decided by the Chief Commissioner concerned.
