To withdraw a GST appeal to participate in the Amnesty Scheme under Section 128A, you need to follow these steps:
File an Application for Withdrawal of Appeal Submit an application for withdrawal of the appeal before the authority where the appeal is pending. This is usually done by filing a formal request in the appellate tribunal or the concerned authority handling your case.
Submission of Declaration Along with the withdrawal application, submit a declaration that you intend to avail the Amnesty Scheme and will comply with its conditions, including payment of admitted tax demand.
Pay the Due Amount under Amnesty Scheme Calculate and pay the amount due under the Amnesty Scheme (which usually includes a reduced penalty and interest, if applicable).
Submit Proof of Payment Attach the proof of payment of the amount deposited under the scheme along with your withdrawal application.
Await Acceptance The appellate authority will consider your request and if satisfied, allow the withdrawal of the appeal. This will enable you to avail the benefits of the Amnesty Scheme.
Important Notes:
Once the appeal is withdrawn and the amount is paid, you cannot revive the appeal.
Ensure that all demands and penalties you want to settle are covered under the scheme.
