The CBIC has issued Instruction No. 02/2023-GST, providing a new Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) for the scrutiny of GST returns from the financial year 2019-20 onwards.
The new SOP covers the scrutiny of GST returns for the financial year 2019-20 and subsequent years.
GSTINs are selected for scrutiny by the Directorate General of Analytics and Risk Management (DGARM) based on various risk parameters identified by them.
The ACES-GST application now includes a 'Scrutiny of Returns' module, which provides an online workflow for the entire scrutiny process, from issuing notices to finalising actions.
If discrepancies are found, the proper officer will issue a notice in FORM GST ASMT-10. The registered person can then accept the discrepancy and pay dues, or furnish an explanation in FORM GST ASMT-11.
The SOP outlines specific timelines for various stages, including the finalisation of the scrutiny schedule, issuance of notices, submission of replies, and subsequent actions, ensuring a time-bound process.
