A GST Tax Notice is an official communication issued by the GST Department when there is a discrepancy, delay, non-filing, or suspected non-compliance with GST laws.
It alerts taxpayers to clarify, rectify, or pay dues within a specified time to avoid penalties or further legal action.

  • Short payment or wrong claim of input tax credit (ITC).
