Received a
GST Notice?
We Handle It.
A GST notice is a formal legal communication from the department — ignoring it can lead to heavy penalties, interest demands, or even registration cancellation. Our experts respond on your behalf, accurately and on time.
Don't Ignore a GST Notice — Respond Right
GST notices are issued by tax officers under multiple provisions of the CGST Act. Each type carries its own timeline, legal implications, and required documentation.
Whether you have received a notice for return mismatches, an Input Tax Credit discrepancy, an outstanding tax demand, or a show cause notice ahead of registration cancellation — the response must be factually accurate, legally sound, and submitted within the time prescribed. An inadequate or late response can be treated as an admission of liability. Sahyog Tax Advisory's GST professionals analyse your notice, build a case, draft a comprehensive response, and represent you before the department.

Our GST Notice Response Services
A structured, end-to-end approach — from reading the first line of the notice to achieving full resolution with the department.
Notice Analysis
We decode every section of your GST notice — identifying the exact provision invoked, the period under scrutiny, and the department's specific allegation. This critical first step shapes the entire response strategy.
Case Evaluation
Our GST consultants review your books, GST returns, ITC records, and e-way bills to assess the merit of the department's claim, identify genuine gaps, and map out your strongest legal and factual defence.
Response Drafting
We prepare a point-by-point written reply to the notice — supported by case law, CBIC circulars, and factual evidence — structured to be clear, convincing, and legally defensible before the adjudicating authority.
Documentation Support
We compile, verify, and organise all supporting documents — invoices, payment challans, reconciliation statements, GSTR downloads, e-way bills, and contracts — into a clean submission package ready for the GST portal or officer.
Department Representation
Where personal or virtual hearings are required, our GST representatives appear before the assessing officer on your behalf under a valid authorisation, presenting your case professionally and fielding departmental queries.
Follow-Up Compliance
Notice resolution often requires subsequent compliance actions — paying admitted liability, filing rectified returns, or submitting additional information. We manage the entire post-response compliance trail to closure.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can GST notices be ignored?
No. GST notices should be responded to within prescribed timelines — typically 7 to 30 days depending on the notice type. Failure to respond is treated as acceptance of the department's position, which can lead to ex-parte orders, tax demands with interest, penalties up to 100% of tax due, and in serious cases, prosecution proceedings under the CGST Act.
Can Sahyog respond to a GST notice on my behalf?
Yes, subject to proper authorisation and documentation. We operate under a Letter of Authorisation or GST Practitioner appointment, allowing us to officially represent you before the GST department, file responses on the GST portal, and appear at personal hearings. The entire process is handled with full transparency and your approval at each stage.
What is a DRC-01 notice and how serious is it?
DRC-01 is a Show Cause Notice (SCN) issued before raising a formal demand for unpaid or short-paid tax, interest, and penalty. It is among the most serious GST notices as it precedes an adjudication order. A well-drafted response at the DRC-01 stage can prevent the matter from escalating to a confirmed demand (DRC-07) and potential recovery action.
What documents should I collect when I receive a GST notice?
Immediately gather: the notice document itself (with DIN number), all GST returns for the relevant period, your purchase and sales registers, ITC ledger from the GST portal, bank statements, e-way bill logs, and any prior correspondence with the department. Share all of this with us and we will conduct a comprehensive review to build your response.
How long does GST notice resolution take?
Timeline varies significantly based on notice type and complexity. A simple mismatch notice can be resolved in a few weeks with a strong written reply. A demand adjudication proceeding may take several months through the SCN, personal hearing, and adjudication order stages. We keep you informed throughout and ensure all statutory deadlines are met without exception.
