Every engagement at Nyaya Grah is grounded in the relevant statute. For founders and counsel reviewing this matter, here is the foundation.
Tier 1: Appellate Authority (Joint Commissioner / Additional Commissioner / Commissioner) under S.107 â Centre and State separate authorities. Tier 2: GST Appellate Tribunal (GSTAT) â Principal Bench at Delhi + State Benches (operationalising 2024-25). Tier 3: High Court under S.117 (substantial question of law only). Tier 4: Supreme Court under S.118.
gst.gov.in â appeal filing module (Form GST APL-01 online). GSTAT portal (under development at gstat.gov.in). For HC/SC: respective eCourts portals.
GSTAT (GST Appellate Tribunal) operationalising since 2024 â Principal Bench at Delhi + State Benches activating progressively. Rules notified 2024. Until full operationalisation, taxpayers approach HC writ. Pre-deposit cap of âš25 Cr for first appeal (S.107(6)) and 20% additional for GSTAT (S.112(8)) clarified. CBIC circular on faceless appeals being explored for select categories. Refund of pre-deposit with 6% interest if appeal allowed. Several CBIC clarifications on classification disputes through 2025. Litigation around ITC reversal (S.17, Rule 42/43) most common appeal category.
No vague timelines. Here's the actual phase-wise breakdown for GST Appeals & Representation in Gangotri.
CRITICAL â limitation clock starts from order COMMUNICATION (not date of order). S.107(1) â 3 months from communication. S.107(4) â Appellate Authority can condone 1 additional month with sufficient cause. Beyond 4 months total = NO appeal possible. Detailed review of: adjudication order (Form DRC-07 / DRC-09 / cancellation order / refund rejection), SCN issued, reply filed, hearing record, evidence on file. Ground-by-ground analysis.
S.107(6) CGST Act â appeal NOT admitted without pre-deposit of: (a) full undisputed amount + (b) 10% of disputed tax (CGST + SGST + IGST + Cess) â MAX âš25 Crore. Non-refundable until appeal disposed. Payment via electronic cash ledger or credit ledger (ITC). Challan (CIN/CPIN) generated. CRITICAL: must be paid BEFORE filing appeal, not after. Failure = appeal dismissed for non-maintainability.
Form GST APL-01 contents: detailed Grounds of Appeal (each ground specific, fact + law referenced), Statement of Facts (chronology of proceedings), reliefs sought. Case law compilation: Supreme Court, jurisdictional High Court, AAR (Authority for Advance Ruling) rulings, departmental clarifications, circulars. Alternative grounds (e.g., "if classification at higher rate is upheld, rate should be applied prospectively") pleaded.
Form GST APL-01 filed online via gst.gov.in. Self-attested copy of impugned order + grounds + verification + pre-deposit challan uploaded. DSC of authorized signatory (mandatory for companies/LLPs). ARN (Application Reference Number) generated. Form GST APL-02 acknowledgment received. Auto-listing for hearing.
Personal hearing notice received (S.107(11) â 3 chances before ex-parte). Counsel/authorized representative appears. Written submissions filed. Cross-examination of departmental officers (rare in appeal stage). Final order in Form GST APL-04 â confirm/reduce/enhance demand. CGST S.107(11) â Appellate Authority must dispose within 1 YEAR of filing (subject to extension by reasons recorded). If adverse: GSTAT (S.112) next, with additional 20% pre-deposit.
Most counsel quote one number. We show you what goes where, so there is nothing to discover later.
| Component | Amount | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Pre-deposit under S.107(6) CGST Act | 10% of disputed tax (max âš25 Cr) | MANDATORY before appeal admission; non-refundable until disposed |
| Government appeal fee (Form GST APL-01) | âš0 | No filing fee for first appeal (only pre-deposit applies) |
| GSTAT appeal fee + additional 20% pre-deposit | Disposal-dependent | After first appeal â additional 20% of remaining disputed amount |
| Professional fee â first appeal (CGST Appellate Authority) | âš14,999 â âš49,999 | Complexity-based; high-stakes cases higher |
| GSTAT representation (after first appeal) | âš49,999+ | Separate engagement; counsel + paper book |
| HC writ representation (senior counsel) | âš99,999+ | Substantial question of law cases |
| Miscellaneous (certified copies, paper book, indexing) | âš2,000 â âš5,000 | Actuals |
Total estimate from 14999 ¡ final fee depends on entity size, document readiness, and city-specific stamp duty (see local jurisdiction above).
From hundreds of engagements, here are the patterns that cause founders and businesses to come back to us in distress. Avoid these and you've already won 70% of the matter.
Limitation runs from COMMUNICATION of order, not date of order. Beyond 4 months total (3 + 1 condonable) = NO appeal possible â order becomes final. Only writ jurisdiction remains. Track order receipt date carefully.
S.107(6) â appeal NOT admitted without pre-deposit. Many founders try to file without payment hoping for waiver â doesn't work. Pre-deposit is non-refundable till appeal disposed (refunded with interest if relief obtained).
Form GST APL-01 is ONLINE-ONLY since 2018. Physical submission not accepted. Online filing via gst.gov.in with DSC mandatory for companies/LLPs.
Copy-paste from SCN reply or generic "order is illegal" grounds get dismissed. Each ground must specifically challenge: (a) factual finding, (b) legal interpretation, (c) procedural violation, OR (d) classification/valuation/rate dispute â with section + case law references.
Until 2024, GSTAT was not operational â taxpayers had to approach HC writ. NOW GSTAT operationalising â appellate pathway changing. Going directly to HC without exhausting GSTAT may face dismissal for not exhausting alternate remedy.
Limited to grounds raised in Form APL-01. Issues not contested in appeal cannot be raised later (except pure legal grounds). Comprehensive grounds drafting critical.
Pre-deposit can be from electronic cash ledger OR credit ledger (ITC). Mixing or using wrong account = challan rejection. Some categories require cash ledger only.
Filing in 4th month requires explicit condonation application with sufficient cause affidavit. Many file without â Appellate Authority dismisses for delay.
S.107(11) â 3 hearing notices. Missing all 3 = ex-parte order. Then revival via reasons + costs only.
S.107(5) â Appellate Authority can ENHANCE demand (with notice). Some taxpayers don't respond to enhancement notice = higher demand confirmed. Must rebut enhancement proposal.
These are the signals â observed across the profession â that your money and matter are about to be handled poorly. We list them so you can vet anyone, including us.
