E-way notices for FY 22-23

To resolve this Show Cause Notice, the main line of defense rests on establishing revenue neutrality and demonstrating that entering tax under Compensation Cess was an inadvertent clerical error. Since the tax liability for FY 2022-23 was remitted in full to the exchequer on time, there is no short-payment or intent to evade, making demands for additional tax, interest, or penalties legally unsustainable under Sections 50 and 73 of the CGST Act. Filing the detailed written reply along with payment receipts, requesting re-allocation via Form GST PMT-09, and citing High Court rulings (such as Wipro Ltd. and Pentagon Luminaire) provides a solid legal basis for the adjudicating officer to drop the proposed demand and adjust the tax entry.
