Effective service of GST notices requires more than portal upload where repeated communications receive no taxpayer response. Although portal uploading constitutes valid service, the assessing officer should consider other statutory modes under Section 169(1), preferably registered post with acknowledgement due, to ensure that notice reaches the taxpayer.
