Audit

Taxpayers will now be able to access all notices and reports issued by tax officials through a section called “Additional Notices and Orders.” This means that taxpayers can respond to audit notices and upload documents directly through the portal.

They can also choose to accept or reject tax liabilities, based on the any discrepancies outlined in the notice or audit report (Form GST ADT-02).

In addition, taxpayers can apply for an adjournment or request an extension of the audit date from the tax officer.

Status of Aadhaar Authentication or E-KYC

In the Search Taxpayer functionality, users will now be able to view the status of Aadhaar Authentication or E-KYC verification of the searched GSTIN. This feature is available both pre-login and post-login.

7.

Auto-generation of Form GST DRC-01

According to Rule 142(1) of the CGST/SGST Rules, when a tax official issues a notice under Section 73, 74, 129, 130, etc., to a taxpayer, it is mandatory to serve a summary of the notice in Form GST DRC-01.

To facilitate this process, the GST Portal has implemented an auto-generation feature for Form GST DRC-01. Taxpayers can now access this form in the Additional Notices & Orders sub-menu on the portal.
