    The reply the notice calls for

    Scrutiny notice — FORM GST ASMT-10 (Section 61)

    Drafted as a reply in FORM GST ASMT-11 under Rule 99(2) of the CGST Rules, 2017 — a factual reconciliation of each discrepancy, not a reply to a show cause notice, and without case law. The due date is taken from the period the notice states; if it states none, the draft flags [TO BE CONFIRMED: reply period stated in ASMT-10].

    Pre-show-cause intimation — FORM GST DRC-01A

    Drafted for Part B of FORM GST DRC-01A, not as FORM GST DRC-06, with the penalty position stated under Section 73(5) read with Section 73(6).

    Show cause notice — FORM GST DRC-01 (Section 73 / 74 / 74A)

    Opens with a reference block mirroring FORM GST DRC-06 under Rule 142(4) of the CGST Rules, 2017 — GSTIN, SCN reference number and date, financial year, and whether a personal hearing is requested.

    Notice that doesn't name its form or section

    Headed "Reply to Notice dated …", not described as a show cause notice, with a flag near the top: [TO BE CONFIRMED: form and section of the notice]. No case law until the form is confirmed.

    What it does

    • Upload the notice — PDF, Word (.doc/.docx), plain text, or a photo (JPG/PNG/WebP/HEIC).
    • LegalInk reads it — notice type, issuing authority, the section invoked, the response deadline and the demand amount — and works out which kind of GST notice it is.
    • It drafts the reply for that notice type and flags, in the text, what you must confirm before filing.
    • Every statute section and case citation is checked against LegalInk's verified index before you see it — marked verified, ungrounded or flagged, never silently invented.
