delay condonation in filing 1st appeal

[SUSHIL BANSAL]

Dear experts, plz guide

In one of our case we filed 1st appeal in central GST with delay of 2 days & along with physical documents submission, we filed delay condonation request with reasons & supporting documents. Usually CGST authorities are not issuing APL-02 but in this case we have been issued APL-02 & date of personal hearing also fixed.Plz guide whether the delay condonation request has been accepted or we need to plead for that in the personal hearing.

Dear Sir

Once an acknowledgement in APL-02 issued means, your appeal petition has been officially and satisfactorily accepted in all matters including request for condonation. You can comfortably attend PH.

In the order itself therewill be a mention about the condonation of delay.

AI Summary

Delay condonation in appeals: issuance of APL-02 indicates acceptance of condonation and scheduling of personal hearing. Issuance of the official acknowledgement form (APL-02) and fixation of a personal hearing indicate that a first appeal filed with an accompanying request for condonation and supporting reasons has been formally accepted, including the condonation request; the appellant may attend the personal hearing while the final order will typically record whether condonation of delay has been granted.
