appeal issue

[giri gattupalli]

respected sir,

one of my client's (a works contractor -govt works) GSTN was cancelled right back in 2018.now an order has been passed on him demanding to pay around 10,00,000 Rs of tax.(basing on third party information). we decided to file appeal . the problem is our login in gstn is closed and denying access. after so many trails and correspondence with GSTN we could get the login opend..so we could not file the appeal application through online and could not pay the deposit amount. i met higher authorities also .no solution. and now the the tax officer issued bank attachment .. what are the legal remedies available to my client. i request all seniors to guide me.

thanking you

Please read ur notice thoroughly and identify the section under which notice and for which period notice given and ask the details of the party to talk with him. Give a written replay to the Department by stating the facts of case and get Acknowledgement copy and Even after that Departments demands, file a writ petition in your state high court as per Article 226 by stating the above facts.

I hope u have all the communications in place to show the technical issues u had faced to file the appeal.i.e. no regisy, bank n forth communications, etc

If you can get the hard copy of the order, try filing a manual appeal with the department citing reasons for non-filing of appeal online. In many cases department is accepting offline appeals as well.

AI Summary

GST appeal access failure leading to bank attachment; preserve technical communications and pursue manual appeal or writ remedy. A contractor received a tax demand after GST registration cancellation and, due to portal access denial, could not file an online appeal or pay deposit leading to bank attachment; recommended steps are to obtain notices and orders, submit a written reply with acknowledgement explaining technical inability to file, preserve all communications, file a manual/offline appeal citing the portal failure, and pursue a writ petition or other remedies to challenge the attachment and procedural denial of access.
