I received a GST DRC-01 notice. What is being alleged, what dates matter, and what evidence should I prepare?
DRC-01 is the summary of a show cause notice that proposes a demand of tax, interest and penalty. Read the notice itself, not only the summary: it states the tax periods, the grounds (for example a mismatch between GSTR-1, GSTR-3B and GSTR-2B, ineligible input tax credit or short payment) and the amounts. Dates that matter: the reply deadline stated in the notice; whether the notice was issued within the time limit under section 73 or 74 (for periods up to 2023-24) or section 74A (from 2024-25); and the date of any earlier DRC-01A intimation. Prepare a reconciliation of the department’s figures with your returns and books, invoices and payment proof for each disputed item, and earlier correspondence. File the reply in Form DRC-06 and ask for a personal hearing; tax you accept can be paid through DRC-03 before the order.

GST DRC-01 Notice Reply in Chhattisgarh
DRC-01 notices to Chhattisgarh-based GSTINs (state-code 22) are the primary trigger for Section 73 (non-fraud) or Section 74 (fraud) demand proceedings. Appellate route: GSTAT state bench, with cross-cutting income-tax interactions escalating to ITAT Raipur.
The economic mix of Chhattisgarh runs across aluminium (BALCO Korba), steel (Bhilai, Raipur belt — 15% of India's crude steel), coal & power (SECL) — sectors that consistently dominate the regulatory case-load and the profile of the engagements we field from this jurisdiction. Notable industrial enclaves include Sirgitti Industrial Area Bilaspur, Naya Raipur SEZ. On the AD-Bank side, SBI Raipur and Axis/HDFC corporate desks at Raipur and Bhilai cover most ODI/FDI documentation; mineral-sector exporters often add Mumbai AD branches.
Chhattisgarh produces about a fifth of India's crude steel and a quarter of its coal output, and the Industrial Policy 2024-30 offers up to 100% net SGST reimbursement for mega units.
Common DRC-01 Allegations in Chhattisgarh
Recurring DRC-01 themes for Chhattisgarh-based GSTINs in steel (Bhilai, Raipur belt — 15% of India's crude steel) and coal & power (SECL): ITC denial under Section 16(2)(c) / Rule 36(4) mismatch, classification disputes, RCM short-payment, e-way bill non-compliance, and SEZ/EOU zero-rated documentation gaps. Each carries a distinct evidentiary defence.
