GST Appeal Filing.
If an adjudication order goes against you, the first appeal lies to the appellate authority in APL-01, within three months of the order being communicated. We draft the grounds and statement of facts, work out the mandatory pre-deposit, file the appeal on the GST portal and represent you at the hearing. Second appeals now go to the GST Appellate Tribunal.
Typically two to three weeks to prepare and file, within three months of the order being communicated. The hearing and final order depend on the appellate authority's listing.
