GST notices come in many forms, and each has its own reply form and window: scrutiny (ASMT-10), pre-show-cause intimation (DRC-01A), show-cause (DRC-01), system intimations (DRC-01B and DRC-01C), cancellation (REG-17), non-filing (GSTR-3A), refund rejection (RFD-08) and more. A notice on the portal counts as delivered even if you never opened it. We read it, work out the reply with the figures and proof the officer needs, and file it as your authorised representative. A CA or advocate reviews matters needing legal representation.
The date printed on your notice always prevails over these periods.
Only an estimate; the notice date is the one that counts.
Log in to the GST portal and go to Services, User Services, View Additional Notices/Orders (some guides call it View Notices and Orders). The case page has tabs for notices, replies and orders. Notices also arrive by email and SMS, but the upload on the portal counts as service even if you did not see the alert.

A notice issued after its limit may be time-barred; the reply should raise that, and a lawyer confirms.
Copy of the notice
Ignoring a portal notice: It counts as delivered whether you opened it or not.
Government fee: none for the reply. Tax, interest and penalty, if any, are payable to the government and are not our fee. We confirm the exact amount before filing.
Tell us anyway. Our team checks whether time can still be asked for or an order has already been passed, and tells you the route before you pay.
We do not estimate a penalty. Tax, interest and penalty, if any, come from the officer's order. Paying the correct tax and interest early can reduce or remove the penalty in some cases (confirm).
We prepare and file the reply. Appearing at a hearing or arguing a legal case is done by a partner CA or advocate.
System intimations. DRC-01B shows that the liability in GSTR-1 is higher than the tax paid in GSTR-3B. DRC-01C shows that credit claimed in GSTR-3B exceeds GSTR-2B by more than the set limits. You reply in Part B, or pay with interest, and your next return can be blocked until then (confirm).
Either the Central or the State officer can act on a registration. We ask for your registration State, not the officer's office.
A show-cause notice has limits that run from the due date of the annual return. If your notice is dated after its limit, the reply should raise that, and a lawyer confirms. Older years had extended limits, so we check those.
Then the step is an appeal in Form APL-01 within 3 months of the order being communicated, plus 1 month for good reason, after paying the admitted tax and 10% of the disputed tax. A second appeal to the Appellate Tribunal needs a further 10% (confirm).
We do not step into a matter without telling your adviser. We can prepare the working and the draft, and you can ask a CA or advocate to review our reply.
No. StampMitra is a filing assistance platform. We file the reply as your authorised representative, and a CA or advocate reviews matters needing legal representation.
