A GST show cause notice isn't a question. It's a ticking clock.

Statutory reply windows are rigid — DRC‑01 gives you 30 days, ASMT‑10 only 15, and a provisional attachment can freeze your bank account overnight. Send us the notice and we'll map your deadline, quantify your exposure, and draft a reply that changes the course of the proceeding.

Statutory reply windows under CGST Act
DRC‑0130 days from notice date
ASMT‑1015 days from notice date
REG‑177 days from notice date
DRC‑22Immediate — bank/property attached

Indicative timelines under CGST Act & Rules. Your notice carries the exact reply deadline — share it with us and we'll confirm your position immediately.

GST litigation & advisory — we work on your side of the counter, whether you are drafting a reply to a show cause notice or fighting an arbitrary demand before the High Court.

Our indirect tax practice is built for the way GST disputes actually unfold — suddenly, with tight timelines, and often with incomplete information. We act fast to freeze the record, plug the gaps in your documentation, and present a legally sound reply that addresses the specific allegation raised in the notice.

Beyond notice replies, we handle the entire lifecycle of a GST dispute. This includes preparing and filing appeals before the Appellate Authority, representing you before the GST Appellate Tribunal, and arguing writ petitions before the Delhi High Court when principles of natural justice have been violated. We also conduct proactive ITC health checks to help you avoid litigation before it starts.

Why businesses rely on our GST practice:

In the last three years we have drafted hundreds of GST replies, recovered blocked ITC worth crores, and secured stays on recovery in matters where the demand had already crystallized. Our clients include e‑commerce operators, manufacturers, traders, and professional service firms — all united by the need for clear, commercially aware advice when dealing with the GST machinery.

If you are unsure whether your notice carries any real risk, or if it can be settled at the first stage itself, forward it to us. Our initial assessment is free, takes less than 24 hours, and will give you an honest roadmap for what comes next.
