GSTN Resolves Issue Affecting Appeals for Certain NIL GST Demand Orders
GSTN resolved an issue preventing taxpayers from appealing orders showing 'NIL' demand on the GST portal. Taxpayers who made voluntary payments can now seek order rectification to reflect the correct demand and proceed with their appeal.
💡 Key Fact
GSTN addressed a glitch where taxpayers couldn't appeal 'NIL' demand orders on the GST portal.
⚡ Quick Answer
If your GST appeal is blocked due to a 'NIL' demand order after you've made a voluntary payment, get the order corrected to reflect the actual demand, then appeal.
What's Happening
- Problem: 'NIL' demand order — GST portal showed 'NIL' demand after voluntary payment, blocking appeals.
- GSTN's clarification — Voluntary payments don't mean accepting liability; appeals are still allowed.
- Solution: Rectification order — Ask the authority to correct the order, then file your appeal.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
