GST Notice & Litigation Support

A GST notice isn't cause for panic — but it has a deadline, and ignoring it can turn a routine query into a confirmed demand. The system automatically matches your GSTR-1 to your 3B, your ITC to your 2B, and your GST turnover to your income tax return; when something doesn't line up, a notice follows.

Reply windows are short — often 7, 15 or 30 days — so knowing what the notice wants and responding with evidence in time is everything.

Key features and requirements

  • GSTR-3A — default notice for not filing returns
  • ASMT-10 — scrutiny discrepancy (reply in ASMT-11)
  • DRC-01A / DRC-01 — tax intimation / show cause raising a demand
  • REG-17 — show cause for cancellation of registration
  • Voluntary payment can be made via DRC-03; demands carry 10% (non-fraud) or up to 100% (fraud) penalty
