FAQ :
The Office of the Commissioner of GST and Central Excise (Appeals-I) in Chennai has issued a public notice providing a dedicated grievance redressal mechanism for taxpayers facing challenges in filing online appeals to the GST Appellate Tribunal.
Taxpayers are experiencing issues such as manually filing the first appeal (APL-01) instead of online, and the APL-04 form not being visible on the GST portal.
Appeals to the GSTAT must be filed within three months from the date the order was communicated, or by June 30, 2026, whichever is later.
Taxpayers should report issues via email with the subject line 'Grievance regarding Appeal filed manually / online with Chennai-I Appeals', providing their GSTIN, DRC-07 number, and APL-01 ARN if applicable.
Prompt reporting of issues is crucial to ensure that technical glitches do not cause taxpayers to miss the appeal filing deadline, which could result in the loss of their legal remedy.
