The GST portal now allows taxpayers to edit the pre-deposit percentage when filing appeals in Form APL-01.
The update became effective from April 6, 2026.
Previously, the pre-deposit percentage was auto-populated at 10% as per Section 107(6) of the CGST Act, 2017, and could not be edited.
Taxpayers faced difficulties when the pre-deposit had already been paid through other methods or when the demand amount was reflected incorrectly.
Taxpayers can now modify the pre-deposit percentage to match their specific circumstances, such as prior payments or incorrect demand reflections, before submitting their appeal.
The appellate authority will verify the correctness of the pre-deposit amount and the payment method during the adjudication of the appeal.
