Types of GST Notices Issued Across India
GST notices now reach 1.4+ crore taxpayers through automated GSTN systems and jurisdictional officers. DRC-01 demands tax shortfalls (non-fraud cases), while SCNs under Sections 73/74 pursue willful misstatement. Other common notices include:
- ASMT-10: Document discrepancies in returns
- GSTR-3A: Non-filers of GSTR-1/3B/4
- REG-03: Registration clarifications (7-day reply)
- ASMT-14: Best judgment assessment
Response Deadlines: 15-30 days typically; missing converts notices to payable demands + 18% interest + 100% penalty.
