Received a GST Notice? Here's How to Respond Correctly

Adv. Rahul Khanna2 May 2026 5 min read

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.
