Why GST Notice Response Matters for Gurugram Businesses
📌 TL;DR - GST Notice Response Services at a Glance
GST notices are formal communications identifying discrepancies or initiating demand proceedings. ASMT-10 (scrutiny, reply ASMT-11, 30 days), DRC-01 (show cause S73/74, reply DRC-06, 30 days), DRC-01A (pre-SCN intimation), REG-17 (cancellation). Silence = acceptance. Non-response = ex parte DRC-07 order. Under S73(8): pay within 30 days with interest = NO penalty. S74: 100% penalty. S74A unified from FY 2024-25. Appeal APL-01 within 3 months. Prevention through monthly reconciliation is cheapest.
