A GST notice, demand order, ITC mismatch or registration cancellation can put a business under pressure very quickly. At that stage, your accountant may have already done everything possible. You need GST lawyers in Delhi who can read the notice properly, assess the risk and respond before the matter gets worse.
At Jotwani Associates, we handle GST Show Cause Notices, notice replies, tax demand disputes, ITC matters, appeals, adjudication proceedings and GST litigation. We work with businesses in Nehru Place, Connaught Place and across Delhi-NCR. The aim is simple — deal with the issue before penalties, recovery action, or registration problems start affecting day-to-day business.
Our team has around 50 attorneys and the firm was recognised by Forbes India from 2020 to 2023.
GST disputes rarely stay limited to one issue. A notice can involve tax records, company documents, supplier invoices and legal interpretation at the same time. Once officers raise objections or the matter moves into appeal, the response needs to be clear and properly supported.
Routine GST work usually stays with the accountant. Registration, returns, reconciliations, and regular filings can be handled internally or by a CA.
The situation changes when the department questions your tax payment, ITC claim, classification, valuation or compliance records. At that point, the reply is not just another filing. It becomes part of the record that officers, appellate authorities or courts may later examine.
These are some situations where businesses usually need a GST lawyer in Delhi.
The department may issue ASMT-10 or DRC-01 notices when it finds a mismatch in returns, valuation, classification, tax payment or ITC records. Depending on the allegation, demand proceedings may also refer to Section 73 or Section 74.
We read the notice alongside your returns, invoices, reconciliations and supporting records. Then we prepare a reply that answers the actual allegations, rather than sending a generic explanation. If the matter goes into adjudication, we represent you during the hearing process.
A rejected registration application, suspended GSTIN or cancelled registration can affect invoicing, customer dealings, and ITC claims. It may happen because of missing documents, non-filing, verification issues or objections raised during scrutiny.
We prepare replies, revocation applications and appeals where needed. We also appear before the proper officer to help restore the registration and regularise the position.
A demand order or penalty order cannot be ignored. There is a limited statutory period for filing an appeal and some matters may also require a pre-deposit.
We examine the order for factual mistakes, procedural gaps and legal grounds that may support an appeal. Our GST appeal lawyers prepare the memorandum and represent clients before appellate authorities, tribunals, and courts when required.
Some GST disputes begin before a formal notice arrives. There may be disagreement over classification, valuation, exemption, jurisdiction or the benefit of a GST rate reduction. Search proceedings, summons and recovery action can also require immediate legal attention.
We handle replies to summons, departmental hearings, writ petitions and appellate proceedings. Where the matter needs to go further, we represent clients before tribunals and High Courts.
An ITC claim in GSTR-3B may not match the figures reflected in GSTR-2A or GSTR-2B. The department may question the difference, deny credit and raise tax, interest, or penalty demands.
We check the invoices, supplier compliance, payment records and reconciliation statements. We also handle ITC reversal matters under Rule 42 and Rule 43 where applicable. The focus is to defend credit that is genuinely available and reduce unnecessary exposure.
Wrong HSN codes, missed reverse charge liability, incorrect place of supply or e-way bill errors can sit unnoticed for months. During an audit or scrutiny, those same issues can turn into a demand with interest and penalty.
We review GST records for businesses with large transaction volumes, multi-state operations or complicated supply arrangements. This helps identify weak documentation and reporting gaps before the department raises them.
A truck gets held at a Delhi check post. The e-way bill has a typo or the invoice total is off or the transporter’s copy is not in the portal. Your delivery sits, customer calls and the warehouse team start panicking.
We prepare replies, release applications and legal representations where the detention or penalty is disputed.
Refund claims can get delayed or rejected for exporters, SEZ suppliers and businesses claiming inverted duty refunds. These matters may involve zero-rated supplies, LUT or bond-based exports and inverted duty structure cases.
We handle deficiency memos, refund objections, delayed claims, rejected applications and appeals where a refund has been denied.
A wrong HSN or SAC code can create a tax-rate dispute later. Similar issues arise around Reverse Charge Mechanism liability, valuation and exemption claims.
We advise on the position before it becomes a dispute and assist with advance ruling applications where formal clarification helps.
GST matters usually involve short deadlines, several documents and direct dealings with tax officers. We first understand what the department is alleging, then decide how the matter should be handled.
We read the notice, demand order, returns, invoices, assessment records and other supporting documents. This shows what the department is relying on and what needs to be answered.
We check the relevant GST provisions, notifications, circulars and judicial decisions. This helps identify whether the department’s view can be challenged and on what grounds.
We draft notice replies, SCN responses, appeal memorandums and written submissions. The documents are prepared for the specific authority handling the matter.
Where a hearing is required, we appear before the relevant authority, appellate forum, tribunal or court. We lay out the documents and legal position in plain terms, while keeping the record clean in case the matter needs to go further.
Once the immediate issue is dealt with, we look at what caused it. It may be an invoice problem, return-reporting issue, weak documentation or an internal process gap. Fixing it can reduce the chance of another notice on the same point.
