Show cause notice

Please clarify one thing, is the show cause notice for cancellation of registeration or is it for a clarification in the registeration details. I'll mention both of these below for your reference

• As per Rule14(2) of GST Registeration Rules, the reply to SCN for cancellation of regisreration should be given in FORM REG-17 
• If its just for clarification then you need to submit FORM GST REG-01 as per Explanation to Rule 2(2) of GST Registeration Rules

I logged into my account with my TRN and it is showing pending for clarification. 

I have already reply to SCN on 07/07/2017 and still there is no responce on GST Portal.

The status of my application shown as ''Pending for Order''.

How much time get for this verfication?

Show Cause Notice for Cancellation of Registration

Whereas on the basis of information which has come to my notice, it appears that your registration is liable to be cancelled for the following reasons:

Any Taxpayer other than composition taxpayer has not filed returns for a continuous period of six months

You are hereby directed to furnish a reply to the notice within seven working days from the date of service of this notice

Please Guide me how to reply

First step when you get a GST SCN is to identify which section it is under: Section 73 (non-fraud) or Section 74 (fraud or wilful misstatement). This determines your timeline, penalty exposure, and the best payment strategy.

Section 73 (non-fraud):
- 30 days to reply
- Pay tax plus 15% penalty before the reply date and proceedings close
- After reply date but before order: penalty goes up to 25%
- After order: 25% of tax (minimum)

Section 74 (fraud):
- 30 days to reply
- Pay within reply period: 15% penalty
- After order: minimum 25%, up to 100% of tax as penalty

What to include in the reply:
1. Point-by-point response to each allegation in the notice
2. Reconciliation statement if the issue is an invoice mismatch
3. Supporting documents (invoices, bank statements, e-way bills as relevant)
4. Relevant judicial precedents if any apply to your fact pattern

One thing to never do: ignore the notice. Even a bad notice requires a reply. An ex-parte order after a missed reply is harder to challenge than a contested one.
