The new rules, outlined in Notification No. 20/2024 – Central Tax, are effective from November 1, 2024.
Taxpayers can file an application electronically. FORM GST SPL-01 is for notices under Section 73, and FORM GST SPL-02 is for orders, both requiring details of payments made via FORM GST DRC-03.
Eligibility requires the full payment of the demanded tax and the withdrawal of any appeals or petitions filed before the waiver application is processed.
Applications must generally be submitted within three months from the notified date, with a six-month window for cases involving redetermined tax amounts.
If no response is provided by the proper officer within the stipulated time, the application will be considered approved.
The new procedure aims to ease the financial burden on taxpayers by providing a clear process for waiving interest and penalties on GST demands, making dispute resolution more efficient.
