Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) about GSTAT

To help you understand the process and importance of the Goods & Services Tax Appellate Tribunal, our experts at AMLEGALS have answered some of the most common questions.

1. What is the GSTAT? GSTAT stands for the Goods & Services Tax Appellate Tribunal. It is the second forum of appeal for disputes arising under the GST regime. If a business or individual is not satisfied with a decision made by the first GST Appellate Authority or Revisional Authority, they can file an appeal with the GSTAT.
2. When should I file an appeal with the GSTAT? You must file an appeal with the GSTAT within three months from the date on which the order from the first Appellate Authority is communicated to you. This is a strict deadline, and acting promptly is crucial to protect your right to appeal.
3. Can I handle a GSTAT appeal myself without a consultant? While you can represent yourself, it is highly discouraged. GSTAT proceedings involve complex legal procedures, strict evidentiary rules, and nuanced interpretations of GST law. A mistake can lead to the dismissal of your appeal. Engaging expert GSTAT consultants like AMLEGALS ensures your case is presented effectively and professionally.
4. What happens if I miss the deadline to file a GSTAT appeal? If you miss the three-month deadline, you may lose your right to appeal. The tribunal has the power to consider a “condonation of delay” if you can provide a sufficient and valid cause for the delay, but this is not guaranteed. It is always best to seek professional help immediately after receiving an order to avoid this risk.
5. How can AMLEGALS help with my GSTAT appeal? AMLEGALS provides comprehensive, end-to-end support for your GSTAT appeal. Our services include:

  • Strategic Case Evaluation: Assessing the merits and strength of your case.
