Preserve the detention documents and seek prompt professional advice. The stated defect, tax period and statutory route determine the response.
Tax & RegulatoryAppealing a GST order
Identify the actual order, applicable Act and statutory appellate route. A portal grievance or rectification request is not automatically an appeal.
Tax & RegulatoryGST appeal deposits and payment records
Separate admitted liability, a statutory appeal deposit and other payments. Each can have a different legal purpose and effect.

Identify the refund category, period and statutory basis before compiling documents. An excess balance and a legally available cash refund are different questions.
