Hey Shahan,
Looks like you’re saying the department isn’t issuing DRC-08 (show cause notice for recovery) because they want to drop the proceedings related to DRC-07?
Here’s a quick take:
-
DRC-07 is the order for demand and recovery issued by the tax officer.
-
DRC-08 is a show cause notice to recover the amount if the taxpayer doesn’t comply.
-
If the department is dropping the proceedings, they may choose not to issue DRC-08 as there’s no pending recovery action.
-
This can happen if the issue was resolved, appeal upheld in your favor, or the department found no case to proceed.
What you can do:
-
Confirm with the department in writing if the proceedings are dropped.
-
Get a written confirmation or closure letter for your records.
-
Monitor your GST portal for any further demands or recovery notices.
-
If you want, you can write a formal letter asking for status update on your case.
