What this covers

Scrutiny has moved from manual selection to data. Systems compare your GSTR-1 with 3B, your 3B with 2B, your GST turnover with the income tax return and the 26AS, and generate a notice when anything differs.

Most notices have an ordinary explanation — a timing difference, a credit note, an amendment in a later period. What they need is a reply with the reconciliation attached, filed inside the deadline.

We read the notice, build the reconciliation, draft the reply and represent you through hearings if it goes further.

How we handle it

The actual reconciliation, attached

A reply that explains the difference with numbers closes a notice. A reply that argues without them invites the next one.

Deadlines respected

ASMT-10 and DRC-01 carry firm timelines. We work to them, and ask for extensions properly when the data needs time.

Exposure told to you straight

Where a demand is partly correct, you hear that first — paying a small amount through DRC-03 often ends the matter cheaper than contesting it.

Representation through hearings

Personal hearings, audit visits and follow-up queries handled by the same person who drafted the reply.

Frequently asked

What is ASMT-10?
A scrutiny notice pointing to discrepancies in your returns. You reply in ASMT-11 with an explanation, usually within 30 days. A satisfactory reply closes it in ASMT-12; an unsatisfactory one leads to a show cause notice.
What if we ignore a notice?
The officer proceeds on the information available — typically confirming the full demand with interest and penalty in an ex-parte order. Undoing that means an appeal with a pre-deposit.
Can you handle notices for returns filed by someone else?
Yes. Most of our notice work is on periods filed by a previous consultant. We rebuild the position from the books and filed data.
How much time do we get to reply?
It depends on the notice — commonly 15 or 30 days. Extensions are possible if requested before the date with a reason, not after it passes.
