Hi Mam, thanks for the reply This appeal does not belong to appeal under amnesty scheme. U/s 107 we are required to pre-deposit 10% of the disputed amount, just wanted to know whether any of the amount shall be entered as admitted amount OR the entire tax amount determined @12% (higher rate) will be the disputed amount and the client has to pay 10% on such disputed amount as pre-deposit?

Here’s a detailed breakdown to strengthen your response: ** ⏳ Timeline & Condone Delay** Appeal must be filed within 3 months from communication of the order. A further 1-month extension can be granted, subject to sufficient cause. ** Pre-Deposit Requirement** Appellant must pay the admitted tax/interest/penalty in full, plus 10% of the disputed tax, capped at ₹20 crore. This pre-deposit automatically stays recovery proceedings. ** Filing Process** Use FORM GST APL-01 to file the appeal; acknowledgement (FORM GST APL-02) confirms the appeal is officially filed. ** No Remand Rule** The Appellate Authority must decide the appeal and cannot remand it back to the adjudicating officer. ** ⏱ Decision Timeline** Appeals should ideally be decided within one year. Extensions are allowed for complex cases. ** Condonation Beyond Four Months** Courts have generally held that appeals filed beyond the 4-month limit are not admissible, positioning GST as a self-contained remedial framework. However, writs can still be pursued under exceptional circumstances (e.g., denial of natural justice).
