What is a DRC-01 notice?
DRC-01 is the summary of a show cause notice demanding GST, interest and penalty. The reply, hearing and evidence at this stage decide most of the outcome, so it should be prepared before the deadline, not at it.
Which section is your notice under?
For periods up to FY 2023-24, demands are raised under section 73 (no fraud) or section 74 (fraud, wilful misstatement or suppression) of the CGST Act, 2017. From FY 2024-25 both are replaced by section 74A: the notice must be issued within 42 months of the due date of the annual return and the order within 12 months of the notice, extendable by up to six months.
Under section 74A, a non-fraud demand attracts a penalty of 10% of tax or ₹10,000, whichever is higher, and no penalty if tax and interest are paid within 60 days of the notice.
How do we reply?
We reconcile GSTR-1, GSTR-3B and GSTR-2B with your books and e-way bills, collect supplier evidence, and draft the reply in Form DRC-06 with legal grounds and documents. You are entitled to a personal hearing if you ask for one or if an adverse decision is contemplated (section 75(4)), and no more than three adjournments are allowed.
