What is a GST Notice?
A GST notice is issued by the tax authorities when there is any mismatch, delay, or discrepancy in GST returns, payments, or compliance. These notices could relate to short payment of tax, incorrect ITC claims, delayed filing, or scrutiny under GST law.
Notices must be responded to carefully with proper documentation and explanations, as incorrect or delayed replies can lead to heavy penalties, audits, or even legal proceedings.
