APPEAL UNDER GST- APPEAL TO APPELATE AUTHORITY-BY SUDHIR HALAKHANDI
INTRODUCTION In the GST regime, the government has provided a robust mechanism for redressal of grievances of taxpayers through the appeal process. Under the GST law, any taxpayer who disagrees with the decision or order passed by an adjudicating authority can file an appeal to the Appellate Authority. This article provides an overview of the appeal process under the GST law, including the relevant provisions, rules, and forms.
WHO CAN FILE AN APPEAL? Any taxpayer or an unregistered person aggrieved by any decision or order passed against him by an adjudicating authority can file an appeal to the Appellate Authority. The appeal should be filed within three months from the date on which the said decision or order is communicated to such person.
APPELLATE AUTHORITY The Appellate Authority is an authority appointed by the government for hearing appeals filed against the decision or order passed by the adjudicating authority. The Appellate Authority has the power to examine the legality and validity of the decision or order passed by the adjudicating authority and pass an appropriate order on the appeal filed by the taxpayer.

The taxpayer or an unregistered person should appear before the Appellate Authority on the date and time mentioned in the notice and present his case.
The Appellate Authority will examine the appeal and may call for additional information or documents from the taxpayer or an unregistered person.
After considering all the facts and documents presented, the Appellate Authority will pass an appropriate order, either upholding or setting aside the order passed by the adjudicating authority.
