GST Notice Handling & Litigation

Drafting Replies to Show Cause Notices (SCN)

Receiving a Show Cause Notice (SCN) under Section 73 or Section 74 requires a precise legal response rather than a basic accounting reply. We draft robust, evidence-backed replies addressing allegations of tax short-payments, wrong tax calculations, or willful misstatement, establishing a strong defense right from the initial proceedings.

​

Handling Return Discrepancy Notices (ASMT-10)

Discrepancies between GSTR-1, GSTR-3B, and GSTR-2A/2B frequently trigger ASMT-10 scrutiny notices. We analyze your ledger reconciliations, draft point-by-point legal submissions, and interact with assessing officers to resolve discrepancies before they escalate into demand orders.

​

Input Tax Credit (ITC) Defense & Litigation

Input Tax Credit disputes—whether concerning ineligible claims under Section 17(5), alleged fake invoices, or non-filing by suppliers—can choke business cash flow. Our team represents clients to defend legitimately claimed ITC, proving eligibility under GST law and challenging arbitrary credit blockages.

​

Summons, Audits, Search & Seizure Defense

Facing GST departmental audits, search operations, or summons under Section 70 requires immediate legal intervention. We assist business owners and directors through every stage of investigation, ensuring constitutional rights are protected while maintaining full regulatory compliance.

​

Classification & Rate Disputes

Incorrect HSN/SAC classification or ambiguous tax rate applicability can lead to massive retroactive tax demands. We assist businesses in evaluating their goods and services against official notifications, defending against improper reclassification attempts by tax authorities.

​

Cancellation & Revocation of GST Registration

The arbitrary cancellation of a GSTIN halts business operations overnight. We challenge suo-motu cancellations by tax officers, respond to show cause notices, and file revocation applications to restore your GST registration promptly.

​

E-Way Bill & Goods in Transit Detentions

Detention of goods or transport vehicles under Section 129/130 (Form MOV-06/MOV-07) creates urgent commercial friction. We provide immediate legal intervention to secure the release of detained vehicles, contest penalty demands, and defend against confiscation proceedings.

Justitia Goddess

Appeals & Representation

First Appellate Authority Representation

If an assessing officer issues an adverse order, we prepare and argue first-stage appeals before the Commissioner (Appeals) under Section 107. From calculating mandatory pre-deposits to building compelling grounds of appeal, we fight to get unjustified tax demands quashed.

​

GST Appellate Tribunal (GSTAT) Litigation

With the establishment of the GST Appellate Tribunal (GSTAT), businesses have a dedicated judicial forum for resolving complex tax disputes. Our experienced litigators handle end-to-end tribunal representations, drafting appeals and arguing high-stakes legal questions before GSTAT benches.

​

Writ Petitions in High Court

When administrative remedies fail or tax authorities commit procedural violations, illegal bank account attachments, or unconstitutional actions including violation of Principles of Natural Justice, we file and argue Writ Petitions under Article 226 before the High Court for urgent judicial relief.

​

High Court Statutory Appeals (CMA) & Supreme Court Appeals

When an adverse order is passed by the GST Appellate Tribunal (GSTAT), we file statutory Civil Miscellaneous Appeals (CMA) directly before the High Court under Section 117 of the CGST Act on substantial questions of law. Additionally, where orders involve determination of rate of tax or place of supply, or where a High Court judgment requires further challenge, we handle the final stage of litigation by filing statutory appeals and Special Leave Petitions (SLP) before the Supreme Court of India under Section 118 and Article 136 of the Constitution.

​

Advance Ruling Applications (AAR & AAAR)

Uncertainty in GST applicability can stall new business models or international transactions. We prepare, file, and represent clients in Advance Ruling applications before the AAR and Appellate AAR to secure legally binding clarity before launching new ventures.

Reviewing Reports at Desk

Corporate Advisory & Legal Opinions

Legal Opinions on GST Applicability

Navigating complex tax rules for cross-border transactions, SEZ supplies, joint ventures, and digital services requires authoritative guidance. We provide formal legal opinions that analyze statutory provisions, judicial precedents, and departmental circulars to mitigate tax exposure.

​

GST Health Check-ups & Legal Risk Audits

Proactive legal reviews prevent costly surprises during official department scrutiny. We perform comprehensive legal risk audits on your business operations, contract structures, and ITC mechanics to identify and rectify compliance gaps before tax authorities flag them.

​

Contract Vetting for GST Compliance

Commercial contracts must clearly define tax liabilities, indemnity obligations, and price variation adjustments caused by tax updates. We review and draft GST-compliant clauses in vendor agreements, supply contracts, and client proposals to protect your financial interests.

Refund Processing

Unlocking trapped capital and recovering wrongfully withheld taxes requires strategic, end-to-end statutory management. Whether securing legitimate Input Tax Credit (ITC) refunds or aggressively contesting unlawful rejection orders before appellate authorities, LexBrains handles every stage of refund claims under Section 54 of the CGST Act, 2017.

​

​

​

Electronic Cash Ledger Balances: Direct cash withdrawal of excess funds deposited in your Electronic Cash Ledger under Section 54(1).
