GST Notice & Scrutiny Reply
Answered by the person who filed the return.
A GST notice has a deadline on it, usually thirty days and sometimes fifteen, and the cost of missing it is that the department proceeds on its own view of the facts.
Most notices are mismatches — GSTR-1 against GSTR-3B, or credit claimed against GSTR-2B — and most are answerable with a reconciliation that shows the difference is timing rather than tax. That is a different reply from one that concedes a liability, and getting the distinction right is the work.
We answer notices for our own filing clients as part of the retainer, and for anyone else as a standalone engagement.
What is included
- Notice reviewed and the exposure explained plainly

- Reply drafted and filed within the deadline

What we need from you

- Returns filed for the period in question

- Any earlier correspondence with the department
Questions
What happens if I ignore a GST notice?
The officer proceeds ex parte and passes an order on the information available to them, which is almost always the version least favourable to you. The demand then carries interest and penalty, and challenging it later costs more than answering on time would have.
