FAQ :

The circular provides guidelines for filing appeals in the absence of a functional GST Appellate Tribunal, clarifying time limits and procedures for taxpayers.

The three-month appeal period is calculated from the later of two dates: the date the order was communicated to the appellant, or the date the President of the Appellate Tribunal enters office after its constitution.

Taxpayers should submit a declaration to the relevant tax officer stating their intention to file an appeal to the Appellate Tribunal against the order of the first appellate authority.

No, appellate authorities are advised to dispose of all pending appeals expeditiously without waiting for the constitution and functioning of the Appellate Tribunal.

These guidelines will cease to have effect on the date when the President of the Appellate Tribunal enters office.
