I’m wrapping up a research project on GST compliance risks. I’ve spoken to one local CA who told me this problem is rare most buyers check supplier GSTINs regularly, and cancelled suppliers don’t keep operating unnoticed. Before I close my study, I’d appreciate a quick reality check from other practitioners.

One question: In your experience, roughly how often does a typical mid-size manufacturer client (₹5-50 Cr turnover) actually get a DRC-01 notice specifically because a supplier’s GSTIN was cancelled without their knowledge?
