Common Types of GST Notices Show Cause Notices (SCN): Issued under Sections 73 or 74 for tax evasion, non-payment, or short payment.Scrutiny Notices: Sent when discrepancies are found between your declared liabilities in GSTR-3B and Input Tax Credit (ITC) available in GSTR-2A/2B.GSTR-3A Notices: Issued for non-filing of monthly or quarterly GST returns.Critical Rules and PenaltiesTimelines: You must respond to most GST notices within the statutory time limit (typically 15 to 30 days) to avoid hefty penalties and potential cancellation of GST registration.Penalty Rates: If an SCN is issued, a penalty of 10% of the tax amount (or ?10,000, whichever is higher) applies if the demand is paid within 30 days of the notice.Compliance Precedent: Under CGST rules, tax officials require physical tax invoices to be carried during the transit of goods, even if an e-way bill has been generated.If you tell me the specific type of notice you received (e.g., GSTR-3A, Scrutiny, SCN) or the reason for the notice (e.g., mismatch in ITC, non-filing), I can provide actionable, step-by-step guidance on how to draft your reply and resolve the case.
