FAQ :

The instructions clarify the process for scrutinising GST returns for FY 2017-2018, particularly concerning show cause notices (SCNs) and personal hearings, ensuring compliance with legal provisions.

Taxpayers have 30 days to file a reply or representation in response to a show cause notice (SCN) as per the Delhi Goods and Service Tax Act, 2017.

A personal hearing must be provided after the taxpayer has filed their reply or representation, or after the 30-day period for filing a reply has expired, and before any adverse order is passed.

If an SCN points out discrepancies already addressed in prior scrutiny, audit proceedings, or where notices like GST ASMT-10 were issued and completed with GST ASMT-12, the SCN needs to be withdrawn to the extent of those covered issues.

Yes, if a Proper Officer becomes aware that a notice needs withdrawal, they can drop proceedings based on the case facts and content, after recording reasons, even without a written submission or personal hearing from the taxpayer.

Strict action will be taken for non-compliance, but the department also aims to ensure that no harassment is caused to any taxpayer and that due tax is received.
