NOTICES BY GST DEPARTMENT

 

In the recent times, we are witnessing that the CGST & SGST Department are issuing various Notices requiring the Assesees to verify Input Tax Credit claimed in their Returns or regarding verification of transitional credit, etc. Notices were also issued by the department to the Assessees who did not display their GSTN on invoices / at place of business or who were not issuing valid invoices to their customers. It is advisable to file reply to such notices promptly without any delay as non-filing of reply could attract strict action from the department. The reply must be drafted well. It should be crisp and to the point. If there are technical issues involved, one should file the reply in detail and it is always better to engage a professional in such cases. One should be prompt in submitting the details asked by the department and replying to the notices so issued.
