Quick Summary
If your bank account has been frozen by the GST department due to outstanding dues, you may have received a DRC-22 notice. You have a strict 7-day window to respond by filing Form DRC-22A on the GST portal, outlining reasons why the attachment should be lifted. While there isn't a specific format for this response, consulting a Chartered Accountant is highly recommended. In some cases, courts have intervened against arbitrary attachments, so understanding your rights and acting promptly is crucial.

There is no specific format, however if you want specified format message me in inbox

A DRC-13 notice under the GST Act means the department has asked your bank to hold your funds to recover GST dues, from you or a related party. You have 7 days to respond by filing Form DRC-22A through the GST portal with grounds for why the attachment should be lifted. If the officer agrees, a DRC-23 order releases the freeze within 24-48 hours. The Bombay High Court recently quashed a similar order where a son's account was frozen for his father's dues due to a shared trade name, courts do intervene when attachments are arbitrary. If you receive this notice, consult a CA immediately as the 7-day window is strict.
