GST Notice / Reply

Professional response to GST scrutiny notices, DRC-01 demand notices, GSTR-2B mismatch notices, and e-way bill violations — with full documentation and legal arguments.

5.0 / 5.0

Overview

GST authorities issue various notices during scrutiny, assessment, audit, and enforcement proceedings. Each notice has a specific statutory basis, a response deadline, and prescribed consequences for non-response. An unanswered GST notice can escalate from a clarification request to an ex-parte assessment, tax demand, penalty order, and bank account attachment.

MFiling assigns experienced GST professionals to analyze every notice received, identify the specific issues raised, compile all supporting documentation, and prepare a legally sound written response. Common notices handled include: ASMT-10 scrutiny notices (discrepancy between returns and third-party data), DRC-01 Show Cause cum Demand Notices (proposed tax demand with penalty), GSTR-2A/2B mismatch notices (ITC claimed beyond GSTR-2B), and MOV-10 e-way bill violations.

MFiling professional charges: from Rs.2,999 per notice response. Complex DRC-01 demands: from Rs.4,999.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the risk of not responding to a DRC-01 Show Cause Notice?
A DRC-01 is a Show Cause cum Demand Notice proposing a specific tax demand. If no response is filed within the specified deadline (30 days), the GST Officer may issue a DRC-07 Demand Order confirming the demand with full penalty (up to 100% of tax evaded) and interest at 18% per annum. Once confirmed, the demand can be recovered by attaching bank accounts, property, and other assets. MFiling prioritises all DRC-01 responses as the consequences of non-response are severe.
How long do I have to respond to a GST scrutiny notice (ASMT-10)?
An ASMT-10 scrutiny notice typically allows 15–30 days for response. The notice will specify the deadline. If more time is required, an adjournment application can be filed before the deadline expires. Non-response results in the officer issuing an ASMT-11 (summary order) treating the discrepancy as unexplained — converting it to a tax demand. MFiling tracks all notice deadlines and ensures timely responses for all clients.
