if you wanna pass a value to the controller you can make it more simple with the html helper and it works with your checked value aswell

@Html.CheckBoxFor(x => setting.GSuccess)

If a checkbox is checked, then the postback values will contain a key-value pairs.

In your razor, add a name for the check box list:

<input @(Convert.ToBoolean(setting.GSuccess)==true ? "checked='checked'" : string.Empty) 
type="checkbox" name="nameOfYourCheckboxList" /></td>

In your controller use the following:

[HttpPost]
public ActionResult Save(FormCollection collection)
{
     if(!string.IsNullOrEmpty(collection["nameOfYourCheckboxList"])
     {
         //do whatever you need here       
     }
}

Alternative solutions: 1 and 2.
