GST appeal process to be fully digitised

The Goods and Services Tax Network (GSTN) will digitilse the entire process of dispute resolution via appeal to the GST Appellate Tribunal (GSTAT), a senior official told FE. A portal is likely to be ready for this purpose before the full operationalisation of all the benches of the tribunal.

FE had reported earlier that the government intends to operationalise all the benches of GST Appellate Tribunal (GSTAT) by January 2025, as it aims to alleviate the significant backlog of pending GST-related disputes at the appellate level, citing a source. The principal bench of GSTAT, in New Delhi, is expected to start functioning from July-August.

As many as 14,227 appeals against disputed tax demands raised by Central GST authorities were pending as of June 2023, a response by the finance ministry to the Parliament had revealed.
