107 views 1 replies

Received DRC07 along with detailed Order. In the Order DRC01  stated to have been sent through Email/Speed Post. Assessee didi not receive any. It is stated to have been available on GST Portal also. But it was not available on GST Portal also. The department has put the same on portal at the time of Issue of DRC 07. 

Now the query is will it make DRC07 void. Should it be challanged in Appeal.
