The GST state code for Uttarakhand is 05; it forms the first two digits of every GSTIN registered in the state, and notices and appeals are handled by the Uttarakhand administration with writ remedies before the Uttarakhand High Court (Nainital).
Do you have an office in Uttarakhand?
No. Uttarakhand is served remotely from our Mumbai office: documents are exchanged online, filings are made on the MCA, GST and income-tax portals, and meetings are held by video or at that office by appointment.
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 Uttarakhand
DRC-01 notices to Uttarakhand-based GSTINs (state-code 05) 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 Delhi (Dehradun bench).
The economic mix of Uttarakhand runs across automobile component (Pantnagar — Tata Motors, Bajaj Auto), FMCG (Hindustan Unilever, ITC, Dabur — Haridwar SIDCUL), tourism — sectors that consistently dominate the regulatory case-load and the profile of the engagements we field from this jurisdiction. Notable industrial enclaves include Bhagwanpur IIE, SIDCUL Industrial Areas (Pantnagar, Selaqui, Haridwar, Sitarganj). On the AD-Bank side, Dehradun, Haridwar and Pantnagar host the principal AD-I corporate desks; HDFC, ICICI, Axis at Haridwar handle the FMCG/pharma FEMA workload.
Uttarakhand's SIDCUL Pantnagar/Haridwar zones (legacy of pre-2010 area-based excise) still anchor a major FMCG and pharma cluster; combined with no Professions Tax, that drives sustained Tier-1 FDI.
Common DRC-01 Allegations in Uttarakhand
Recurring DRC-01 themes for Uttarakhand-based GSTINs in pharmaceuticals (Haridwar SIDCUL, Selaqui, Pantnagar) and automobile component (Pantnagar — Tata Motors, Bajaj Auto): 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.
Uttarakhand: compliance facts for GST DRC-01 notice reply & appeal
Uttarakhand's industrial base is the Haridwar, Rudrapur–Pantnagar and Dehradun belts, built on the area-based tax incentives of the 2000s and now home to auto, pharma and FMCG plants, alongside tourism, pilgrimage and hydropower. Companies file with the Registrar of Companies at Dehradun, litigate before the Uttarakhand High Court at Nainital, and NCLT matters go to the Allahabad bench with tax appeals at the Dehradun circuit of ITAT Delhi. For GST DRC-01 notice reply & appeal this means registrations, notices and first appeals are handled under Uttarakhand state code 05, with writ remedies before the Uttarakhand High Court (Nainital).
