GST authorities issue notices for a range of reasons — mismatched returns, non-filing, excess input credit, or scrutiny of transactions. Each notice has a specific deadline for response.
Common GST notices
- GSTR-3A: non-filing of returns
- ASMT-10: scrutiny of returns
- DRC-01: show-cause notice for demand
- REG notices: registration issues
How to respond
Read the notice carefully, identify the exact issue, gather supporting documents and file a clear, timely reply on the GST portal. Missing the deadline can lead to ex-parte demands and penalties.
A GST lawyer helps you frame a legally sound reply, negotiate with the department and, if needed, file an appeal against an unjust demand.
