An assessee received a GST liability notice under section 73(5) for the 2018-19 financial year, having filed returns and availed input credit on 30th October 2019. The notice pertains to outward supplies, not specifically B2B or B2C transactions. While options like appealing or contacting the GST officer are suggested, recent High Court judgments have upheld the constitutional validity of section 16(4), potentially limiting remedies for availing Input Tax Credit after the due date.

it looks like you have received notice under section 16(4) for availing ITC after expiry of time limit as you have filed your return on 31.10.2019.
