GST appeal limitation does not begin merely because an order-in-original is uploaded on the common portal without valid communication to the assessee in the stated circumstances. Although the Appellate Authority remains bound by the statutory limitation under the RGST/CGST Act, delay may be condoned where the assessee could not file the appeal for reasons beyond its control and refusal of merits review would cause grave prejudice. The time-bar dismissal was set aside and the statutory appeal restored for merits determination, subject to the directed deposit of outstanding tax.
