GSTN Resolves Issue Affecting Appeals for Certain NIL GST Demand Orders
Full Story
GSTN addressed a glitch where taxpayers couldn't appeal 'NIL' demand orders on the GST portal.
How It Works
1
Problem: 'NIL' demand order
GST portal showed 'NIL' demand after voluntary payment, blocking appeals.
2
GSTN's clarification
Voluntary payments don't mean accepting liability; appeals are still allowed.
3
Solution: Rectification order
Ask the authority to correct the order, then file your appeal.
Common Mistakes
✕Thinking voluntary payment closes the case
✕Missing the appeal deadline after rectification
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.
