Sub-section (1) of Section 65 of the Central Goods and Services Tax Act empowers the Commissioner, or any officer authorised by him through a general or specific order, to undertake audit of any registered person for such period, frequency and manner as may be prescribed. Sub-section (2) provides that the audit may be conducted either at the place of business of the registered person or at the office of the proper officer. It is to be noted that this provision is the substantive source of departmental audit jurisdiction and is read with Rule 101 for procedural mechanics.
View sourceSub-section (1) of Section 66 provides that if at any stage of scrutiny, inquiry, investigation or any other proceedings, the officer not below the rank of Assistant Commissioner, having regard to the nature and complexity of the case and the interest of revenue, is of the opinion that the value has not been correctly declared or the credit availed is not within the normal limits, he may, with prior approval of the Commissioner, direct the registered person to get the records including books of account examined and audited by a chartered accountant or a cost accountant nominated by the Commissioner.
View sourceSub-rule (1) of Rule 101 provides that the period of audit shall be a financial year or part thereof or multiples thereof. Sub-rule (2) prescribes Form GST ADT-01 for the audit notice. Sub-rule (4) directs the proper officer, on conclusion of audit, to record the audit observations in his audit notes and to inform the registered person of the discrepancies, who may file his reply. Sub-rule (5) prescribes Form GST ADT-02 for communication of audit findings.
View sourceSub-section (3) of Section 65 provides that the registered person shall be informed by way of a notice not less than fifteen working days prior to the conduct of audit. The notice is issued in Form GST ADT-01 as prescribed under Rule 101(2). It is to be noted that the fifteen-working-day window is a substantive procedural safeguard; commencement of audit proceedings without compliance with this timeline is a jurisdictional infirmity that may be agitated under Article 226.
View sourceSub-section (6) of Section 65 requires the proper officer, on conclusion of audit, to inform the registered person within thirty days of the findings, the registered person's rights and obligations, and the reasons for such findings. The communication is issued in Form GST ADT-02. It is to be noted that the thirty-day window is mandatory and starts on the date of conclusion of audit, not the date of the audit report.
View sourceSub-section (5) of Section 65 obliges the registered person to afford the necessary facility to verify the books of account or other documents as may be required, and to furnish such information as may be required and render assistance for timely completion of the audit. It is to be noted that non-cooperation under this sub-section can lead the proper officer to invoke best-judgment assessment under Section 62 or escalate to special audit under Section 66.

Section 65 departmental audit and Section 66 special audit representation for Ambattur Industrial Estate Phase 2 businesses — ADT-01 notice handling, on-site audit support, ADT-02 reply drafting and DRC-03 closure under Rule 101 of the CGST Rules.
A dedicated GST audit consultant in Ambattur Industrial Estate Phase 2 prepares Table 8 GSTR-9 reconciliation, Section 17(5) workings, RCM register reconstruction and litigation-grade documentary backup for the full 6-year Section 36 retention window.
On receipt of ADT-01, all 12 months of returns plus audited financials, ITC ledger and e-invoice IRN logs are compiled within the 15 working days notice window — and ADT-02 findings are replied with Section 16 case-law backing including Tvl. Diya Agencies.
For Ambattur Industrial Estate Phase 2 businesses with aggregate turnover above ₹5 crore, GSTR-9C reconciliation between audited financials and GSTR-9 is self-certified and filed before 31st December along with full Table 8 ITC tie-up.
Issued under Rule 101(5), Form ADT-02 documents the proper officer's conclusions on alleged short paid tax, ineligible credit and consequential interest. The instrument is a finding only; any monetary demand thereafter is crystallised through DRC-01 under Section 73 or 74.
Form ADT-03 is the order issued under Section 66(1) directing a Commissioner-nominated Chartered Accountant or Cost Accountant to conduct a special audit. It is an order, not a notice, and the nominated professional then conducts the audit on the department's behalf.
Section 65(4) requires completion within three months from the date of commencement. The Commissioner may extend the period by a further six months for reasons recorded in writing, taking the outer limit to nine months in extended cases.
Section 66(2) requires the nominated Chartered Accountant or Cost Accountant to submit the audit report within ninety days. The period is extendable by another ninety days on application by the auditor or on the department's own motion for sufficient reasons.
Under Section 66(5) the Commissioner determines and discharges the remuneration of the nominated Chartered Accountant or Cost Accountant. The registered person carries no fee burden for the special-audit professional, although internal representation costs remain to the taxpayer's account.
Yes. Beginning the 2020-21 financial year, taxpayers crossing the five-crore aggregate-turnover mark in any year self-certify the reconciliation statement. Earlier external certification by a Chartered Accountant was dispensed with by the Finance Act 2021 amendments to Section 44.
What Ambattur Industrial Estate Phase 2 clients want to know before signing: Where Ambattur Industrial Estate Phase 2 differs: around the SIDCO Industrial Estate catchment of Ambattur Industrial Estate Phase 2. We see where SIDCO-CMDA developed engineering units operate on B2B procurement and capital-goods ITC accumulation cycles.
Localised for Ambattur Industrial Estate Phase 2, Chennai — where SIDCO-CMDA developed engineering units operate on B2B procurement and capital-goods ITC accumulation cycles.
Reading this guide locally — Ambattur Industrial Estate Phase 2 businesses operate where around the SIDCO Industrial Estate catchment of Ambattur Industrial Estate Phase 2, and Ambattur Industrial Estate Phase 2 businesses in the heavy manufacturing arm find that GST inverted-duty refunds capital-goods ITC and Rule 42/43 apportionment dominate the compliance workload.
The audit framework under the Central Goods and Services Tax Act 2017 is contained in Chapter XIII, comprising Sections 65, 66 and 71. Section 65 provides for departmental audit, Section 66 for special audit by a Chartered Accountant or Cost Accountant nominated by the Commissioner, and Section 71 for access to business premises by an authorised officer. The Empowered Committee 2009 First Discussion Paper had envisaged audit as the principal verification layer in a self-assessment regime, replacing the pre-GST pattern of routine assessment under the VAT/CST framework. The architecture is risk-based: not every registered person is audited; selection is driven by Section 65(2) read with internal CBIC risk-management directions which factor in turnover scale, sectoral risk profile, prior compliance history and reconciliation gaps surfaced in GSTR-9C self-certification. The audit-process closure under Section 65(7) feeds either into a no-objection certificate, a voluntary DRC-03 payment, or an SCN under Section 73 or Section 74 depending on whether tax has been short-paid, short-collected or wrongly availed as ITC.
Audit under Section 65 or 66 is conceptually distinct from assessment under Sections 61 (scrutiny of returns) and 62 (best-judgement assessment of non-filers) and from inspection / search / seizure under Section 67. Scrutiny under Section 61 is a desk-review of returns by the proper officer who issues ASMT-10 on discrepancies; the registered person responds in ASMT-11; closure or escalation follows. Audit is broader — Section 65(5) permits examination of the books, returns, statements, declarations and other documents to verify correctness of turnover declared, taxes paid, refund claimed and ITC availed, plus assessment of compliance with the Act. Inspection under Section 67 is targeted enforcement upon reason-to-believe of tax evasion and is invasive — premises access, seizure of records and goods. The OECD Forum on Tax Administration's compliance-pyramid model recommends graduated escalation from desk review to field audit to inspection, and the Indian framework broadly mirrors that design.
Until Finance Act 2021 amendments, Section 35(5) had required certification of GSTR-9C by a Chartered Accountant or Cost Accountant for registered persons whose aggregate turnover exceeded the prescribed threshold. The Finance Act 2021 substituted Section 35(5) and amended Section 44, shifting GSTR-9C to a self-certified reconciliation statement filed by the registered person without third-party attestation, effective FY 2020-21 onwards (Notification 29/2021-CT). The reconciliation in GSTR-9C between audited financial statements and GSTR-9 annual return is now an internal-control disclosure; it does not substitute for departmental audit under Section 65. Audit teams treat GSTR-9C self-certified reconciliations as primary working papers — Table 5 (turnover reconciliation), Table 9 (tax payable reconciliation) and Table 12-14 (ITC reconciliation) become the starting points of Section 65 audit interrogation.
Section 75(11) provides that an issue on which the appellate authority or Appellate Tribunal or High Court has given its decision which is prejudicial to the interest of revenue in some other proceedings, and an appeal to the appellate authority or Appellate Tribunal or High Court or Supreme Court against such decision is pending, the period of stay shall be excluded in computing the limitation period. The provision permits the revenue to preserve its position pending appeal; the corresponding taxpayer protection is the principle that the proper officer is bound by appellate decisions on the same issue unless distinguished. Where the registered person can cite a binding precedent on the same issue from the Madras High Court or AAR Tamil Nadu, the proper officer is obliged to apply it.
Section 75(4) of the CGST Act provides that an opportunity of being heard shall be granted where a request is received in writing from the person chargeable with tax or penalty, or where any adverse decision is contemplated against such person. The opportunity is a substantive procedural right derived from the principles of natural justice and the constitutional audi alteram partem principle. The GKN Driveshafts (India) v ITO Supreme Court principle on the pre-decisional opportunity is applied in the GST context with full force. The proper officer's failure to grant the opportunity, or grant in a perfunctory manner, vitiates the order and provides grounds for writ relief under Article 226 of the Constitution before the Madras High Court.
Section 75(5) provides that the proper officer shall, if sufficient cause is shown by the person chargeable with tax, grant time to that person and adjourn the hearing for reasons to be recorded in writing; provided that no such adjournment shall be granted for more than three times to a person during the proceedings. The three-adjournment cap is a calibration between procedural fairness and proceeding-efficiency. In practice, registered persons facing complex audit findings should plan their adjournment requests strategically — use the first adjournment to gather documents, the second for representation-counsel engagement, and reserve the third for final consolidation. Beyond three adjournments, the proper officer is empowered to proceed ex-parte under Section 75(5) and pass the order on best-judgement basis.
Where the ADT-02 findings, the SCN under Section 73/74, or the DRC-07 adjudication order suffers from jurisdictional infirmity — absence of Commissioner approval for Section 66 special audit, breach of Section 65(4) audit-completion timeline, denial of Section 75(4) opportunity of hearing, absence of Section 75(6) reasoned order, absence of DIN under Pradeep Goyal, breach of natural justice under audi alteram partem — the registered person can file a writ petition under Article 226 of the Constitution before the Madras High Court. The Aap and Co v UoI (Gujarat HC) and Asahi India Glass v UoI (P&H HC) line of authority offers guidance on writ entertainability in tax matters. The writ remedy is extraordinary and reserved for jurisdictional questions, not for merit-based challenges which belong in the statutory appellate hierarchy.
Section 84 of the CGST Act provides for the continuance and validation of certain recovery proceedings; it does not provide a formal settlement scheme akin to the income-tax Settlement Commission framework which existed pre Finance Act 2021. However, the GST Council has periodically recommended amnesty schemes for specific compliance categories — Notification 03/2023-CT and the surrounding family of notifications on late-fee waiver, the GSTR-9 late-fee amnesty, the registration-revocation amnesty under Notification 03/2023-CT, and the periodic Sabka Vishwas (Legacy Dispute Resolution) Scheme equivalent for legacy excise / service tax cases. The registered person facing an adverse audit closure should monitor GST Council recommendations (47th Chandigarh, 50th, 53rd and subsequent meetings) for amnesty windows that may offer settlement at reduced penalty quantum. The OECD Forum on Tax Administration recognises amnesty-and-voluntary-disclosure programmes as compliance-architecture tools.
The simplest post-audit option, where the registered person broadly accepts the ADT-02 findings, is voluntary closure through DRC-03 payment under Section 73(5). DRC-03 is filed online through the GST portal; the registered person specifies the tax, interest and (where applicable) penalty quantum and the period to which the payment relates. Section 73(6) bars subsequent SCN on the amount paid. The Form DRC-04 acknowledgement is the conclusive evidence of voluntary closure. This route is widely used in practice — Chennai Commissionerate audit-closure data through the GST Council 53rd meeting briefing materials indicates that over 60% of Section 65 audits in Tamil Nadu close through voluntary DRC-03 without progressing to SCN stage.
Section 65(2) provides that the audit shall be conducted at the place of business of the registered person or in the office of the proper officer. The period covered is generally one financial year; multi-year audits are permissible where risk parameters warrant. Rule 101(1) limits the audit to a financial year unless the Commissioner specifically directs otherwise. The frequency of audit selection is risk-driven — the CBIC's Audit Manual (2019, periodically updated) directs Commissionerates to combine GSTN risk-engine outputs with sectoral profiles and prior-audit findings. Persons whose aggregate turnover crosses prescribed risk thresholds, or who have triggered specific red flags (large refund claims, sharp ITC growth versus output growth, GSTR-2A versus GSTR-3B mismatches), are prioritised. The GST Council 47th Chandigarh meeting (June 2022) had recommended a more nuanced risk-based selection to reduce small-taxpayer compliance burden.
Section 65(4) requires that the audit under Section 65 shall be completed within three months from the date of commencement of audit. The Commissioner is empowered to extend this period by a further six months for reasons recorded in writing; the maximum total audit-cycle is therefore nine months from commencement. 'Commencement of audit' is defined in the Explanation to Section 65(4) as the date on which records and documents called for by the tax authorities are made available by the registered person, or the actual institution of audit at the place of business, whichever is later. This definition is significant for the registered person — timely document submission tightens the audit timeline and prevents prolonged uncertainty; the OECD Forum on Tax Administration best-practice benchmarks similarly emphasise audit-cycle time as a taxpayer-rights consideration.
Section 65(5) empowers the audit team to verify the documents, ascertain the correctness of turnover declared, exemptions and deductions claimed, rate of tax applied, ITC availed and utilised, refund claimed, and other relevant compliance matters. The team can examine any of these dimensions and require any explanation. Section 65(6) imposes a corresponding obligation on the registered person to afford the necessary facility to verify the books of account, statements and other documents called for, and to furnish information and render assistance for the timely completion of the audit. Reasonable cooperation is the registered person's first-line defence — obstruction or non-cooperation can trigger Section 71 access provisions and escalate the matter into Section 67 inspection territory.

ADT-02 is the form in which the proper officer communicates the audit findings, rights and obligations to the registered person within thirty days of completion of the audit; observations in ADT-02 typically feed into a subsequent Section 73 or Section 74 demand notice if tax has not been voluntarily paid.
ADT-03 is the direction issued under Section 66(1) by the Commissioner to a registered person requiring submission to special audit by a nominated chartered or cost accountant; the audit report is to be submitted within ninety days extendable by another ninety days for sufficient cause.
Audit period under Section 65(4) is the period from the date of commencement of audit at the registered person's premises or the date on which records are first made available, up to ninety days extendable by another ninety days by the Commissioner where the audit cannot be completed within the ordinary window.
Pre-ADT-02 window is the practical window between draft observation by the audit officer and issuance of formal ADT-02, during which the registered person can file a written reply, produce additional records and make voluntary DRC-03 payments under Section 73(5) to avoid penalty exposure.
Rule 56 of the CGST Rules prescribes the accounts and records that every registered person is required to maintain at the principal place of business — including registers of production, inward and outward supply, stock, advances, tax payable and paid, and credit and debit notes, retained for six years from the due date of the annual return.
Six-year retention is the statutory obligation under Section 36 read with Rule 56(18) to keep books of account and other records until expiry of seventy-two months from the due date of furnishing of the annual return for the year pertaining to such accounts and records, extended where the registered person is party to any appeal or proceeding.
Records walkthrough is the practitioner-led structured presentation of statutory registers, reconciliations and working notes to the audit officer at the commencement of audit, designed to substitute an unstructured document-request cycle and reduce overall audit duration.
Adverse finding is an observation in the audit officer's draft note or in the formal ADT-02 alleging short-payment of tax, excess availment of input tax credit, wrong claim of refund or other contravention, carrying with it a subsequent demand under Section 73 or Section 74 if the tax with interest is not voluntarily paid.
Voluntary DRC-03 is a payment of tax with interest made by the registered person on his own ascertainment under Section 73(5) or Section 74(5), filed in Form DRC-03 on the common portal, with the procedural advantage that no penalty under Section 73(9) or reduced penalty under Section 74(5) applies if the payment is made before issuance of notice.
Table 8 reconciliation is the working file built between the auto-populated GSTR-2A or 2B based ITC in Table 8A of GSTR-9 and the ITC availed and reported by the registered person in Table 8B and 8C, with the residual variance disclosed in Table 8D and an explanation parked in Table 8E or 8F.
Audit-readiness pack is the practitioner-prepared bundle delivered to the audit officer at commencement, typically containing turnover reconciliation, ITC reconciliation, RCM register, blocked credit working under Section 17(5), and a self-identified list of likely adverse findings with cure positions.
Block credit register is the internal ledger maintained by the registered person under good-practice (not statutorily prescribed) listing every input tax credit availed and separately the credits blocked under Section 17(5) categories such as motor vehicles, food and beverages, club memberships and personal consumption, with rationale.

“Received an ADT-01 audit notice for FY 2020-21 and FY 2021-22. FilingPro compiled all 24 months of returns, reconciled GSTR-1 vs GSTR-3B vs books and prepared Table 8 GSTR-9 working before the audit team arrived. ADT-02 had only minor findings — closed via DRC-03 with no demand notice.”
“Our ITC of ₹38 lakh was being questioned because some suppliers had not filed GSTR-1. FilingPro defended the credit citing Tvl. Diya Agencies and demonstrated Section 16 compliance with payment evidence. Audit team accepted the position — full ITC retained.”
“Section 66 special audit was ordered for our trading business. FilingPro coordinated with the Commissioner-nominated CA, gave full record access, prepared Section 17(5) workings and RCM register. Final report had no adverse findings on valuation or ITC.”
“GSTR-9C self-certification for our ₹12 crore turnover business was handled by FilingPro for FY 2022-23 and FY 2023-24. Reconciliation between audited financials and GSTR-9 was tight — no Table 8 difference, no HSN summary gap. Filed before 31 December both years.”
