यदि आपको जीएसटी विभाग से नोटिस प्राप्त हुआ है तो घबराएँ नहीं — यह आम बात है।
जीएसटी नोटिस, टैक्स विभाग द्वारा भेजा गया आधिकारिक संदेश होता है, जिसमें आमतौर पर विसंगतियों की ओर इशारा किया जाता है, स्पष्टीकरण मांगा जाता है, या बकाया टैक्स की जानकारी दी जाती है।
ये नोटिस पहली नजर में डरावने लग सकते हैं, लेकिन सही तरीके से जवाब देने पर आसानी से संभाले जा सकते हैं।
🔹 What is a GST Notice?
What is a GST Notice?
A GST notice is a formal message from the tax department, indicating that there’s something they want to clarify, verify, or demand related to your GST compliance. It could be something small like a mismatch in returns or something more serious like suspected fraud.
Why are GST Notices Issued?
There are several reasons why a notice may be served:
- Late or non-filing of returns
- Mismatch in return data
- Suspicious or excessive Input Tax Credit (ITC) claims
- Incomplete documentation
- Errors in GST filing
जीएसटी नोटिस क्या है?
जीएसटी नोटिस एक औपचारिक संदेश है, जिसमें टैक्स विभाग करदाता से स्पष्टीकरण, पुष्टि, या टैक्स की मांग करता है।
यह कभी-कभी साधारण गलती (जैसे रिटर्न में अंतर) के लिए होता है, और कभी गंभीर कारणों (जैसे धोखाधड़ी संदेह) के लिए भी।
जीएसटी नोटिस क्यों जारी किया जाता है?
निम्न कारणों से जीएसटी नोटिस जारी हो सकता है:
-
रिटर्न देर से दाखिल करना या बिल्कुल न करना
-
रिटर्न डेटा में विसंगति
-
संदिग्ध या अधिक Input Tax Credit (ITC) का दावा
-
अधूरी दस्तावेज़ीकरण

Types of GST Notices
Scrutiny Notice
This is issued when the tax officer finds inconsistencies in your GST returns. You’ll need to provide supporting documentation to clarify things.
Show Cause Notice (SCN)
This is more serious. The department believes a violation has occurred, and you are required to “show cause” why you shouldn’t be penalized.
Demand Notice
This one’s all about money. If the tax officer thinks you owe taxes, interest, or penalties, you’ll get a demand notice showing how much you owe and when it must be paid.
Other Notices
There are also notices for assessments, intimation of mismatch under Section 61, notices for audit under Section 65, etc.
🔹जीएसटी नोटिस के प्रकार
1. Scrutiny Notice (जांच नोटिस)
जब टैक्स अधिकारी रिटर्न में विसंगति पाते हैं, तब जारी होता है। इसमें दस्तावेज़ और स्पष्टीकरण जमा करने की आवश्यकता होती है।
2. Show Cause Notice (SCN)
यह गंभीर नोटिस होता है। इसमें विभाग मानता है कि कोई उल्लंघन हुआ है और आपसे कारण पूछा जाता है कि आपको दंडित क्यों न किया जाए।
3. Demand Notice (मांग नोटिस)
यह मुख्य रूप से पैसे से संबंधित है। यदि अधिकारी को लगता है कि आपको टैक्स, ब्याज या जुर्माना देना है, तो वह राशि और समय सीमा के साथ नोटिस जारी करेगा।
4. अन्य नोटिस
-
धारा 61 के तहत mismatch के लिए नोटिस
-
धारा 65 के तहत ऑडिट नोटिस
-
