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.

No. The pre-notice intimation in DRC-01A is optional for the officer, but if you receive one, paying or replying at that stage can close the matter early.
Can I avoid penalty by paying?
For non-fraud cases under section 74A, paying the tax and interest within 60 days of the notice ends the proceedings without penalty.

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.
