FAQ :

The e-Shodane module is an online platform developed by the Karnataka Department of Commercial Taxes in association with NIC, Karnataka, to manage the entire audit and assessment process under the KGST Act.

Cases are selected either through 'Wild Card Selection', where officers identify potential high-revenue cases, or 'Risk Based Scrutiny', which uses predefined risk factors like discrepancies between GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B, high turnover in the service sector, or issues with input tax credit.

An Audit Officer can typically handle twenty cases at any given time. A new case is assigned once a previous one is disposed of or completed.

An audit should generally be completed within three months from its commencement. The commencement date is either when the registered taxable person makes records available or when the audit is instituted, whichever is later.

If an audit cannot be completed within the stipulated period, the Audit Officer must request an extension from the Joint Commissioner (Admn.). This request, with valid reasons, is then recommended to the Commissioner, who may grant an extension of up to six months.

All communications between the proper officer and the registered taxable person must be conducted via the Government mail ID and sent to the registered e-mail ID of the taxable person.
