If the GST department requests a personal hearing even though the initial notice indicated 'NO', it's generally advisable to attend. A personal hearing offers a chance to clarify any misunderstandings the department might have about your filed reply. While it's natural to feel apprehensive, thorough preparation with all relevant documents and a clear understanding of the case can ease the process and potentially lead to a better outcome.

A personal hearing provides an opportunity to clarify any doubts or misunderstandings that the department may have regarding your reply. Engaging with the department directly can sometimes lead to a more favorable resolution of the issue. However, it's important to be prepared for the hearing. Thoroughly review both notices and your reply to understand the specific issues raised by the department. Collect all necessary documents, such as invoices, receipts, contracts, and any other supporting evidence.

Attending the hearing with due homework would easier your problem, rather then escaping it whereby more suspicions would be created in the minds of the officers.
