Show Cause Notice Reply — DRC-01 & DRC-01A Expert Handling
High-stakes GST demand notices require a precise, legally structured response. Our team of CAs and Advocates prepares your reply — fixed fee ₹5,999, draft within 48 hours.
DRC-01 notices carry tight statutory deadlines. File a response before the adjudicating authority passes an ex-parte order against you.
What is a Show Cause Notice?
A Show Cause Notice (SCN) in the form of DRC-01 is issued by the GST officer under Section 73 or Section 74 of the CGST Act, 2017 when the officer has reason to believe that tax has been short-paid, unpaid, or wrongly refunded, or that input tax credit has been wrongly availed.
DRC-01A is a pre-SCN intimation — an opportunity to pay the ascertained amount with interest before the formal DRC-01 is issued. Addressing DRC-01A early can avoid full SCN proceedings.
The SCN demands a written explanation of why the alleged tax, interest, and penalty should not be confirmed. A weak or absent reply allows the adjudicating authority to pass an ex-parte order confirming the full demand — which then requires a Commissioner Appeal or GSTAT proceeding to challenge.
