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.
