FAQ :

GSTAT is a statutory appellate body established to hear appeals against orders passed by GST Appellate Authorities, providing taxpayers with an independent forum for justice.

The Goods and Services Tax Appellate Tribunal (GSTAT) was launched by the Union Minister for Finance and Corporate Affairs, Smt. Nirmala Sitharaman, in New Delhi.

GSTAT aims to provide jargon-free decisions in plain language, use simplified formats, enable digital-by-default filings and virtual hearings, and set time standards for listing and pronouncements to ensure swift and fair justice.

GSTAT is expected to lead to reduced legal frictions, greater simplicity, and proactive addressing of litigation delays, ensuring cash flows move faster, and MSMEs and exporters can invest with confidence.

Each Bench of the GSTAT will comprise two Judicial Members, one Technical Member (Centre), and one Technical Member (State), reflecting a balanced composition of judicial expertise and technical knowledge.

Taxpayers and practitioners can file appeals online through the GSTAT e-Courts Portal, track case progress, and participate in hearings digitally. Staggered filing is allowed until 30th June 2026.
