As seen from the above, the Government has clearly spelled out the offenses that are covered under GST. When a company commits any of the above offense, the officer-in-charge, as well as the company will be held liable for such an offense. When the offense is committed by an HUF, LLP or a Trust, then the Karta, partners and managing trustee will be held responsible for such offense.
