Deposit, Pending Appeal, of Duty and Interest Demanded or Penalty Levied. –
Where
in any appeal under this Chapter, the decision or order appealed against
relates to any duty and interest demanded in respect of goods which are not
under the control of the customs authorities or any penalty levied under this
Act, the person desirous of appealing against such decision or order shall,
pending the appeal, deposit with the proper officer the duty and interest
demanded or the penalty levied :
Provided
that where in any particular case, the
Commissioner (Appeals) or the Appellate Tribunal is of opinion that the deposit
of duty and interest demanded or penalty levied would cause undue hardship to
such person, the Commissioner (Appeals) or, as the case may be, the Appellate Tribunal
may dispense with such deposit subject to such conditions as he or it may deem
fit to impose so as to safeguard the interests of revenue.
