Note
A GST notice before the notice: reading a DRC-01A
An intimation in Form DRC-01A comes before a formal show-cause notice. A considered reply at this stage can end the matter.
The department may tell you what it thinks you owe before it issues a formal notice. This intimation is a chance to pay, or to explain, before a show-cause notice is issued.
What to check
- The period and the amount
- Whether it compares your GSTR-3B with GSTR-1 or with GSTR-2B
- The date by which you must respond
