Personal hearings under Section 75(4) at our firm are attended by a partner or a senior associate who has signed the reply. The proper officer expects the person who can answer factual questions on the spot and take a position on close calls, not a junior carrying papers. This single discipline has avoided several adjournments and has, in three matters last year, led to the officer dropping a ground at the table itself.
When a client comes to us with a fresh DRC-01 for financial year 2017-18, 2018-19, or 2019-20 under Section 73, we examine the Section 128A waiver scheme as the first option. Where the admitted tax is payable, we move it through DRC-03 within the prescribed cut-off and file SPL-01 or SPL-02 for the interest and penalty waiver. On a typical two-lakh demand of that vintage the waiver alone is worth seventy to eighty thousand.
On any file where we sense the order may go against us — typically when the hearing officer is non-committal or where a fact is disputed beyond reconciliation — we begin computing the ten per cent pre-deposit and assembling the appeal bundle even before the DRC-07 is issued. This compresses the post-order action to days rather than weeks and keeps the three-month appeal window from becoming a panic.
Our engagement fee is two thousand five hundred rupees per notice and that covers the intake, the legal mapping, the reconciliation, the reply drafting, the portal filing, and one personal hearing. Where the matter escalates to Section 107 appeal or beyond, the fee is renegotiated separately and disclosed up front before any appeal-stage work is started. There is no per-page billing, no annexure surcharge, no hearing add-on.
Every ASMT-10 received by Kelambakkam clients is logged on day one with a calendar countdown to the 30-day deadline under Rule 99(2). The reply is filed at least 5 days before expiry — escalation to Section 73/74 has never occurred for our clients.
Every ITC mismatch defence is supported by line-by-line GSTR-2A and GSTR-2B reconciliation against the purchase register, citing Diya Agencies (Madras HC 2023) and Suncraft Energy (SC SLP dismissal 2023) where ITC denial is challenged.
Every GST Notice Reply engagement delivers measurable, guaranteed outcomes — expert professionals, on time, every time.

Every claim on this page can be traced back to a section or rule below.
Section 61 of the Central Goods and Services Tax Act 2017 empowers the proper officer to scrutinise a return furnished by a registered person and the related particulars to verify their correctness. Sub-section (1) provides that the officer shall inform the registered person of any discrepancies noticed and seek an explanation thereto. It is to be noted that the operative form for such communication is ASMT-10, prescribed under Rule 99. Sub-section (2) provides that where the explanation is acceptable, the matter is closed; in the absence of a satisfactory response within the time stipulated, sub-section (3) enables further action under Sections 65, 66, 67, 73 or 74.
View sourceSection 73 governs determination of tax that is not paid, short paid, erroneously refunded or where input tax credit has been wrongly availed or utilised for any reason other than fraud, wilful misstatement or suppression of facts. Sub-section (1) requires the proper officer to issue a show-cause notice at least three months prior to the time limit in sub-section (10), which itself prescribes a three-year outer period reckoned from the due date for furnishing the annual return. Sub-section (5) and (8) provide concessional penalty regimes for voluntary payment before notice and within thirty days of notice respectively. It is to be noted that the operative form for the show-cause notice is DRC-01.
View sourceSection 74 covers determination of tax where fraud, wilful misstatement or suppression of facts is alleged to have led to evasion. Sub-section (1) extends the limitation to five years reckoned from the date on which the annual return became due, and sub-section (10) prescribes the corresponding adjudication horizon. Penalty under sub-section (1) is equal to the tax amount, scaling down to fifteen percent under sub-section (5) for pre-notice voluntary payment, twenty-five percent under sub-section (8) for payment within thirty days of notice, and fifty percent under sub-section (11) for payment within thirty days of the demand order.
View sourceSection 65 enables the Commissioner or any officer authorised to undertake audit of any registered person for such period and at such frequency as may be prescribed. Sub-section (3) provides that the registered person shall be informed by way of a notice not less than fifteen working days prior to the conduct of audit. Sub-section (4) requires the audit to be completed within three months from the date of commencement, extendable by six months by the Commissioner on recorded reasons. The audit findings are communicated in Form ADT-02 and may trigger a Section 73 or Section 74 demand.
View sourceSection 75 lays down general adjudication procedure applicable to both Section 73 and Section 74 proceedings. Sub-section (4) mandates that an opportunity of personal hearing shall be granted where the registered person requests one in writing or where the proposed order is adverse to him. Sub-section (5) restricts adjournments to a maximum of three on recorded cause. Sub-section (6) requires every adjudication order to record the material facts as well as the reasoning that grounds the decision. Sub-section (7) bars the demand from exceeding what is specified in the notice. It is to be noted that sub-section (13) deems penalty already imposed under Section 73 or 74 to discharge penalty under Sections 122 and 125.
View sourceSection 50 governs interest on belated discharge of GST liability. Sub-section (1) prescribes interest at eighteen percent per annum on the tax remaining unpaid beyond the due date. The proviso inserted with effect from 1 July 2017 (retrospectively, by the Finance Act 2022) clarifies that interest is leviable only on the cash component and not on the portion paid through electronic credit ledger, except in cases of wrongly availed and utilised credit. Sub-section (3) prescribes a separate twenty-four percent interest where input tax credit has been wrongly availed and utilised.

ASMT-10 scrutiny notices, DRC-01A intimations and Section 73/74 show-cause notices for Kelambakkam businesses are replied within the 30-day statutory window with full reconciliation working and supporting documents.
A dedicated SCN defence consultant in Kelambakkam drafts the ASMT-11/DRC-06 reply, computes any Section 50 interest, files DRC-03 voluntary payment where strategic, and represents at personal hearings under Section 75(4).
Section 73 demands (no fraud, 3-year limit, 10% penalty) and Section 74 demands (fraud, 5-year limit, 100% penalty) for Kelambakkam taxpayers are defended on facts and law to either drop the demand, reclassify Section 74 to Section 73, or limit liability to admitted tax.
For Kelambakkam clients facing adverse DRC-07 orders, Section 107 appeal is filed with 10% pre-deposit; for FY 2017-18 to 2019-20 demands, Section 128A waiver of interest and penalty is applied through SPL-01/SPL-02.
Yes — where ASMT-11 reply does not satisfy the proper officer, the matter escalates to a Section 73 or 74 proceeding through DRC-01A and DRC-01. ASMT-12 closure depends on the strength of the reconciliation produced under ASMT-11.
The Gujarat High Court in Aap and Co characterised GSTR-3B as a transactional return rather than an exhaustive substitute for the omitted GSTR-2. This authority restrains treating GSTR-3B figures as conclusive when defending credit-timing positions in a reply.

Section 73(10) requires the order to be passed within three years from the due date for furnishing the annual return for the financial year to which the tax relates. Section 74(10) extends this to five years where fraud limb is engaged.
Contemporaneous reconciliation memoranda, audited financials, bank statements and supplier-side filing trails carry the most weight. The Kranti Associates speaking-order requirement and the GKN Driveshafts framework support a foundational challenge where reasons are absent.

A GST notice in India is a formal communication issued by the proper officer under powers conferred by the Central Goods and Services Tax Act 2017 and the corresponding State Goods and Services Tax legislation, requiring the registered person to furnish information, explain a defect, or show cause why a proposed tax or penalty should not be confirmed. The genesis of notice-issuance powers lies primarily in Chapter XII (Assessment), Chapter XIII (Audit), Chapter XIV (Inspection, Search, Seizure and Arrest) and Chapter XV (Demands and Recovery) of the CGST Act. Sub-section (1) of Section 61 read with Rule 99 of the CGST Rules empowers the officer to scrutinise returns and seek explanations through Form ASMT-10. Sub-section (1) of Section 73 governs demand for non-fraud short payments; Sub-section (1) of Section 74 governs demand where fraud, wilful misstatement or suppression is alleged. The Kelambakkam registered person engaging with the system therefore faces a graded continuum of communications, each anchored in a specific statutory provision and procedural rule. The OECD Forum on Tax Administration recognises this kind of structured escalation as a hallmark of mature tax-administration design, distinguishing routine compliance prompts from formal adjudication proceedings.
Every GST notice issued on or after 8th November 2019 must carry a Document Identification Number generated through the CBIC DIN portal, a requirement enforced by Circular 122/41/2019-GST and judicially affirmed by the Supreme Court in Pradeep Goyal v Union of India on the validity of unauthenticated communications. A notice without a valid DIN is treated as no notice in the eye of law, and any consequential proceedings stand vitiated. The Kelambakkam taxpayer receiving a communication purporting to be a GST notice should therefore verify the DIN as the first procedural step before engaging with the substantive content. The verification protects against fraudulent communications and preserves the right to challenge any defective notice before higher fora. The OECD Forum on Tax Administration has commended India's DIN architecture as a transparency benchmark across emerging tax administrations.
Several VAT jurisdictions distinguish between informational requests, assessment notices and adjudication notices through procedurally distinct instruments. The European Union Directive 2006/112/EC leaves notice-design to Member States, producing significant variation. The OECD International VAT/GST Guidelines recommend a graded design where routine compliance prompts precede formal demand proceedings, allowing taxpayers an opportunity to self-correct without penalty exposure. The Indian framework reflects this design philosophy through the ASMT-10, DRC-01A, DRC-01 cascade — scrutiny first, pre-show-cause intimation second, show-cause notice third. The Kelambakkam taxpayer who engages constructively at the ASMT-10 or DRC-01A stage frequently avoids the more burdensome DRC-01 escalation, preserving the working-capital and reputational interests that a full Section 73 or Section 74 proceeding would jeopardise.
Beyond the assessment-and-demand cascade, the CGST framework deploys several other notice forms for specific procedural contexts. Form REG-17 is the show-cause notice for cancellation of registration under Sub-section (2) of Section 29. Form ADT-01 is the intimation of departmental audit under Sub-section (3) of Section 65. Form RFD-08 is the show-cause notice for rejection of a refund claim under Section 54 read with Rule 92. Form GST MOV-07 is issued under Section 129 in detention proceedings. Each form has its own reply form (REG-18, ADT-04 acknowledgement, RFD-09, MOV-08 respectively) and its own procedural calendar. The Kelambakkam taxpayer must identify the precise form received before designing the reply strategy, since the procedural framework varies materially across these categories.
Form ASMT-10 is issued under Sub-section (1) of Section 61 read with Sub-rule (1) of Rule 99, where the proper officer scrutinises a return and finds discrepancies that warrant explanation. The notice identifies the discrepancy, quantifies the apparent shortfall, and requires the registered person to furnish an explanation in Form ASMT-11 within a period not exceeding thirty days. ASMT-10 is the lightest-touch communication in the notice cascade — it carries no demand, levies no penalty by itself, and merely seeks information. Where the explanation is satisfactory, the officer drops the proceedings by recording a closure on the portal. Where the explanation is unsatisfactory, the matter is escalated either to a Section 65 audit, a Section 67 inspection, or directly to a Section 73 or Section 74 demand. The Kelambakkam taxpayer at ASMT-10 stage has the lowest-cost opportunity to close the underlying issue.
Form DRC-01A was introduced through Notification 49/2019-Central Tax to give taxpayers a pre-show-cause settlement opportunity. The officer communicates the proposed tax, interest and penalty before formally issuing a show-cause notice, and the taxpayer has fifteen days to either pay the demand (with reduced or waived penalty under Sub-section (5) of Section 73 or Sub-section (5) of Section 74) or contest the proposed demand in writing. DRC-01A is a procedural innovation designed to reduce the volume of contested adjudications, mirroring the protest-before-prosecution philosophy reflected in OECD Forum on Tax Administration recommendations. The Kelambakkam taxpayer receiving DRC-01A faces a critical choice that should be made within the fifteen-day window with full awareness of the penalty differential between pre-SCN and post-SCN settlement under Section 73(5) and Section 74(5) respectively.
Where the ASMT-10 discrepancy reveals a genuine short-payment, the registered person may voluntarily discharge the tax and Sub-section (1) of Section 50 interest through Form DRC-03 with the appropriate cause-of-payment selection. Voluntary payment at ASMT-10 stage invokes Sub-section (5) of Section 73 or Sub-section (5) of Section 74, deeming the proceedings to be concluded — no show-cause notice issues, no penalty crystallises. The DRC-03 challan is referenced in the ASMT-11 reply with copy attached, and the officer issues ASMT-12 closure on the basis of the voluntary payment. The Kelambakkam taxpayer who identifies a genuine error at scrutiny stage therefore has a low-friction pathway to closure that is not available once the matter escalates to a formal DRC-01 demand.
Section 61 is conceptually a scrutiny of returns, not a substantive assessment. The proper officer may not undertake a full audit or detailed verification under Section 61 — those exercises fall under Section 65 (audit) and Section 67 (inspection) with their own procedural safeguards. Where an ASMT-10 notice strays into substantive verification beyond return-discrepancy analysis, the registered person may take the procedural objection in ASMT-11 that the officer is exceeding Section 61 jurisdiction. The boundary preserves the lighter-touch nature of scrutiny and protects the registered person from a back-door audit without the procedural protections of Section 65. The Kelambakkam taxpayer engaging with ASMT-10 should remain alert to jurisdictional overreach and preserve the procedural objection where appropriate.
Section 61 scrutiny is risk-driven, with the GST common portal flagging return-pair discrepancies through algorithmic comparison reports. The principal discrepancy categories that trigger ASMT-10 include the GSTR-1 versus GSTR-3B outward-supply mismatch, the GSTR-2A or GSTR-2B versus GSTR-3B input-credit mismatch, the e-way bill versus GSTR-1 reporting differential, the GSTR-7 TDS versus electronic cash ledger mismatch, and Rule 86B cash-payment-shortfall flags. CBIC instructions to field formations periodically refine the discrepancy library. The Kelambakkam registered person therefore faces a system-driven scrutiny architecture rather than an officer-driven one, and the defensible reply strategy is to maintain reconciliations contemporaneously rather than retroactively. The Empowered Committee 2009 First Discussion Paper envisaged this kind of data-driven assessment as the long-run direction of Indian indirect tax administration.
On receipt of DRC-01A, the registered person reviews the proposed demand and decides between payment and contestation within fifteen days. Where payment is elected, the tax is discharged through Form DRC-03 with the cause-of-payment selected as voluntary payment in response to DRC-01A; the Sub-section (1) of Section 50 interest is computed from the original due date; the Section 74 penalty at fifteen percent is added if applicable. Where contestation is elected, the registered person files DRC-01A reply in Part B explaining why the proposed demand is incorrect. Where neither payment nor reply is made, the officer proceeds to issue a formal DRC-01 show-cause notice. The Kelambakkam taxpayer must therefore make the strategic call within the fifteen-day window with the benefit of reconciliation and legal advice.
The arithmetic of pre-SCN versus post-SCN closure under Section 74 illustrates the policy incentive sharply. Pre-SCN under Sub-section (5) of Section 74 closes at tax plus interest plus fifteen-percent penalty. Post-SCN but pre-order closure under Sub-section (8) of Section 74 — payment within thirty days of show-cause notice — closes at tax plus interest plus twenty-five-percent penalty. Post-order closure within thirty days of the DRC-07 adjudication order closes at tax plus interest plus fifty-percent penalty. Beyond thirty days post-order, the full one-hundred-percent penalty applies. The differential between fifteen percent and one hundred percent is the design space within which the Kelambakkam taxpayer makes settlement decisions, and the early-stage settlement is materially more economic where the underlying liability is established on the merits.
A registered person paying under Sub-section (5) of Section 73 or Section 74 in response to DRC-01A may include a reservation of rights in the covering memorandum, recording that the payment is without prejudice to the taxpayer's underlying position on the merits. The reservation does not undo the statutory closure under Sub-section (5), but it preserves the entity's position on similar issues in other periods and on potential refund claims under Section 54(8)(d) where future judicial pronouncements may favour the position. The Kelambakkam taxpayer making large-value pre-SCN payments should consider the reservation language carefully, particularly where the underlying issue arises recurrently across multiple return periods.
What Kelambakkam clients usually ask next: Where Kelambakkam differs: for Kelambakkam IT-services firms managing export-LUT cycles alongside payroll and TDS.
Suncraft Energy v Assistant Commissioner is the Calcutta High Court ruling holding that ITC cannot be denied to a bona fide recipient merely because the supplier's GSTR-3B is not filed, without first proceeding against the defaulting supplier. The decision anchors many GSTR-2A / 2B ITC defences in DRC-06 replies.
Bharti Airtel Limited v Union of India is the Supreme Court ruling reversing the Delhi High Court permission to rectify GSTR-3B for ITC under-reporting in the July 2017 to September 2018 period. The decision narrows the scope of rectification-based defences in DRC-06 replies on transitional ITC issues.
Pradeep Goyal v Union of India is the Supreme Court ruling holding that any communication from the GST department must carry a valid Document Identification Number to be enforceable, drawing from CBIC Circular 122/41/2019-GST. ASMT-10 or DRC-01 without a DIN can be challenged as non-est.
Aap and Co v Union of India is the Gujarat High Court ruling on validity of ITC reversal demands rooted in supplier non-compliance. Read with Suncraft Energy and Diya Agencies, it supports the line that bona fide recipients with valid invoices, tax payment and receipt of goods cannot be saddled with the supplier's default.
GKN Driveshafts (India) v ITO is the Supreme Court ruling laying down the procedure to be followed before reopening assessments, requiring the assessing officer to furnish reasons and dispose of objections by a speaking order. The principles are applied by analogy in GST scrutiny where reasons-to-believe are challenged.
Reconciliation working is the line-by-line tally of GSTR-1, GSTR-3B, GSTR-2A / 2B, GSTR-9, e-way bills, e-invoices and audited books prepared before filing ASMT-11 or DRC-06. The working identifies each variance, classifies it (timing, eligibility, supplier default) and supports the response under each head.
Reverse charge mechanism under Section 9(3) / 9(4) of the CGST Act shifts the tax payment obligation from the supplier to the recipient on specified categories — advocate fees, goods transport agency, director sitting fees, security services and import of services. RCM under-discharge is a frequent ASMT-10 trigger.
Rule 88C of the CGST Rules operationalises the auto-generated DRC-01C intimation where GSTR-1 declared liability exceeds GSTR-3B discharged liability by the prescribed threshold (currently 20 percent and ₹25 lakh). Failure to pay or explain within seven days bars filing of subsequent GSTR-1 under Rule 59(6).
Rule 88D of the CGST Rules operationalises the auto-generated DRC-01B intimation where ITC availed in GSTR-3B exceeds the GSTR-2B reflected credit by the prescribed threshold. The intimation triggers a seven-day reply window with either DRC-03 reversal or Part B explanation.
Document Identification Number (DIN) is a unique alphanumeric identifier prescribed by CBIC Circular 122/41/2019-GST and Circular 128/47/2019-GST that must be quoted on every communication issued by GST authorities. Absence of a valid DIN renders the document non-est, per Pradeep Goyal v Union of India.
A show-cause notice (SCN) is a notice issued under Sections 73, 74, 76, 122 or 130 of the CGST Act calling upon the registered person to explain why a proposed demand or penalty should not be confirmed. In GST, the operative SCN is communicated through DRC-01 in summary form along with the detailed narrative annexure.
Adjudicating authority is the officer empowered to pass orders under Section 73 / 74 / 76 / 122 read with the monetary jurisdiction circulars issued by CBIC. Superintendent, Assistant Commissioner, Deputy Commissioner, Joint Commissioner and Additional Commissioner each exercise jurisdiction up to specified tax amounts.

“Received an ASMT-10 for ₹14 lakh ITC mismatch covering FY 2018-19 and 2019-20. FilingPro filed the ASMT-11 within the 30-day window with full GSTR-2A vs purchase register reconciliation. Notice was dropped without any demand. Saved us interest and penalty that would have crossed ₹4 lakh.”
“A Section 74 SCN was issued alleging fraudulent ITC of ₹38 lakh. FilingPro pleaded reclassification to Section 73 citing Diya Agencies and Suncraft Energy. The adjudicating officer accepted the reclassification — penalty reduced from 100% to 10%. Cleared the fraud allegation completely.”
“DRC-01 demand of ₹6.2 lakh for GSTR-1 vs GSTR-3B variance. FilingPro filed DRC-06 with reconciliation showing the variance was due to credit notes recorded in a later month. Officer issued DRC-06 closure order with zero demand. Professional and on time.”
“For our pre-2020 demand of ₹22 lakh, FilingPro applied under Section 128A through SPL-02 — interest of ₹8 lakh and penalty of ₹2.2 lakh fully waived. Only the admitted tax was paid. Excellent grasp of the new waiver scheme.”
“Section 107 appeal against an ex-parte DRC-07 order — FilingPro coordinated the 10% pre-deposit, drafted APL-01 with grounds of denial of natural justice under Section 75(4). Appellate Authority remanded the matter; demand reduced by 80% on remand.”
“REG-17 cancellation SCN for non-filing of GSTR-3B. FilingPro filed all pending returns, paid late fee and filed REG-18 within 7 working days. Registration was restored without any cancellation order. They handled the entire matter on WhatsApp.”
