Every claim on this page can be traced back to a section or rule below.
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 (6) of Section 66 provides that the expenses of the examination and audit, including the remuneration of the nominee auditor, shall be determined and paid by the Commissioner and such determination shall be final. It is to be noted that the registered person does not bear the cost of the special audit even though the audit is conducted on records furnished by him.
View sourceSub-section (4) of Section 65 prescribes that the audit shall be completed within three months from the date of commencement of the audit. The proviso permits the Commissioner, where satisfied that the audit cannot be completed within three months for reasons to be recorded in writing, to extend the period by a further period not exceeding six months. The expression date of commencement is defined in the Explanation to mean the date on which the records and other 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.
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.
View sourceKottivakkam is a coastal residential locality bridging Thiruvanmiyur and Palavakkam serving the IT workforce on OMR. Because PIN 600041 sits inside the Chennai South jurisdiction, the handling office for Kottivakkam stays consistent across years, which matters when filings or approvals span cycles. Statutory correspondence for Kottivakkam businesses routes through the Velachery Division, so we align every GST Audit Support engagement to that jurisdiction from the start. Businesses registered in Kottivakkam share the Chennai South jurisdiction, and their statutory matters route through the same Velachery Division each time.
Kottivakkam reads as a coastal residential and it support pocket with medium commercial activity, anchored around Kottivakkam Beach and fed by the Kottivakkam Bus Stop corridor. Commercial activity in Kottivakkam runs medium, so GST Audit Support volumes scale through peak months and we staff the Kottivakkam desk accordingly. Document pickup near Kottivakkam Beach is a same-hour errand for our Kottivakkam engagements rather than the half-day a typical Chennai client expects. The coastal residential and it support mix of Kottivakkam shapes what lands in our workpapers — a blend of it services activity and the commercial pulse around Kottivakkam Beach.
GST Audit Support for restaurants businesses in Kottivakkam hinges on getting the sector's recurring entries right the first time. For a restaurants business in Kottivakkam, the GST Audit Support scope is rarely generic; we tailor the checklist to how that sector actually transacts. A restaurants operator in Kottivakkam gets a GST Audit Support workflow shaped by sector norms, not a one-size-fits-all template. Mixed restaurants activity across Kottivakkam means our GST Audit Support team keeps sector playbooks ready rather than improvising per client.

A Kottivakkam client sees the same GST Audit Support cadence each cycle: intake, reconciliation, review, filing, acknowledgement. Fixed-fee scoping means a Kottivakkam business knows the GST Audit Support cost up front, with no surprise additions mid-engagement.

Relocating a registered office into Kottivakkam (PIN 600041) changes the assessing division, and we handle that GST Audit Support transition cleanly. New restaurants ventures in Kottivakkam lean on us to stand up GST Audit Support correctly before the first deadline rather than after a notice.

Section 65 departmental audit and Section 66 special audit representation for Kottivakkam 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 Kottivakkam 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 Kottivakkam 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.
ADT-02 is the audit-findings report under Rule 101(5) at the end of a Section 65 audit. DRC-01 is the show-cause notice issued under Section 73 or 74 read with Rule 142 to demand tax. ADT-02 findings, if disputed, mature into a DRC-01 SCN separately.
DRC-03 is the voluntary-payment intimation under Rule 142(2). It is used to discharge tax with interest before SCN to invoke Section 73(5) or 74(5) immunity, or to comply with ADT-02 findings. Closure follows through DRC-04 or DRC-05 as the case may be.
Section 73(5) permits payment of tax with interest before any show-cause notice is issued. Where so paid through DRC-03 referencing the audit ARN, no penalty is leviable and proceedings stand closed for that amount on issue of DRC-04 by the proper officer.
ADT-02 itself is a finding, not a demand. The demand crystallises only through a subsequent DRC-01 SCN and the consequential DRC-07 order. First appeal under Section 107 against that order lies within three months on a ten per cent pre-deposit of disputed tax.
Suncraft Energy Pvt Ltd v Assistant Commissioner of the Calcutta High Court holds that input tax credit available to a bona fide recipient cannot be defeated solely on supplier-side default in GSTR-1 filing or tax payment, where the recipient holds valid invoices and discharged consideration including tax.
Union of India v Bharti Airtel of the Supreme Court recognises the right to rectification of bona fide errors in GSTR-3B. The ratio is invoked at audit stage to seek directions for portal-blocked corrections through DRC-03 where the succeeding-period route under Section 39(9) has lapsed.
What Kottivakkam clients want to know before signing: For Kottivakkam engagements specifically — on the Palavakkam-Thiruvanmiyur corridor that passes through Kottivakkam.
Reading this guide locally — Across Kottivakkam, around the Kottivakkam Beach catchment of Kottivakkam.
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.
Where the Section 73 or 74 adjudication order under DRC-07 is adverse, the registered person's first appeal lies under Section 107 of the CGST Act before the Joint or Additional Commissioner (Appeals) within three months from the date of communication of the order, extendable by one month for sufficient cause. Pre-deposit of 10% of the disputed tax amount under Section 107(6) is the gateway requirement. Second appeal lies under Section 112 before the GST Appellate Tribunal (now operational with Principal Bench at New Delhi and State / Area Benches notified); the Section 112 pre-deposit is an additional 20% (cumulative 30%). Beyond the Tribunal, appeal lies to the High Court under Section 117 on questions of law, and to the Supreme Court under Section 118. Writ remedy under Article 226 of the Constitution before the Madras High Court is available for jurisdictional infirmities at any stage.
Where audit findings are not addressed through voluntary DRC-03 payment, the proper officer issues a Show Cause Notice — DRC-01 under Section 73(1) for cases not involving fraud, wilful misstatement or suppression, and under Section 74(1) for cases involving any of those elements. The framing choice has material consequences. Section 73 attracts penalty of 10% of tax or ₹10,000 whichever is higher (Section 73(9)), with no penalty if voluntary payment is made within thirty days of SCN under Section 73(8). Section 74 attracts penalty of 100% of tax (Section 74(9)), with reduced penalty of 25% if voluntary payment is made within thirty days of SCN under Section 74(8) and 50% within thirty days of order. The extended-period limitation of five years (versus three years under Section 73) is the other material difference.
Where the audit-team recommends Section 74 framing, the registered person's defence focuses on the four elements — fraud, wilful misstatement, suppression of facts, or contravention with intent to evade tax. The Supreme Court's pre-GST jurisprudence on similar language in Central Excise (Pushpam Pharmaceuticals v CCE) and Service Tax (CCE v Mehta and Co) emphasised that mere non-payment or non-disclosure does not amount to suppression with intent; positive indicators of intent are needed. Bona-fide classification errors, computational mistakes, and reasonable interpretation differences are not suppression. Where the SCN frames the case under Section 74, the response should systematically address each of the four elements and rely on the documentary trail showing bona-fide compliance attempts. Pradeep Goyal (DIN requirement) and Kranti Associates (reasoned order) provide procedural safeguards.
The third-recurrent audit finding is classification and rate-of-tax. The GST rate structure across the rate notifications (Notification 01/2017-CT(R) and amendments, Notification 11/2017-CT(R) for services) contains thousands of HSN-and-SAC line items with rates from nil to 28%; classification borderlines are inherent. Audit-team challenges typically focus on: dual-rate items (5%/12%/18% pharmaceutical formulations, footwear, restaurants), composite versus mixed supplies under Section 8 (where the principal-supply classification determines the rate), and works-contract versus pure services classification. The Section 97 Advance Ruling mechanism offers a forward-looking certainty path; for historical classifications, the response is to cite the CBIC circulars (e.g. Circular 164/20/2021-GST on services classification clarifications) and contemporaneous trade-practice evidence.
Place-of-supply errors are the fourth common finding — typically where the registered person charged CGST/SGST (intra-State) when the place of supply under Sections 10 to 13 IGST Act was inter-State (requiring IGST), or vice versa. Section 77 of the CGST Act provides a corrective mechanism — where tax was paid under one head but is actually payable under another, the wrongly-paid tax can be claimed as refund and the correctly-payable tax should be paid; the registered person is not penalised, only interest under Section 50 may apply. Audit teams sometimes overlook Section 77 and compute full short-payment additions; citing Section 77 with documented evidence of the corresponding refund-eligible head closes the issue at audit stage.
The single most common Section 65 audit finding is ITC mismatch — ITC claimed in GSTR-3B Table 4(A) exceeding ITC available in GSTR-2A or GSTR-2B for the corresponding tax period. The post-2019 regulatory tightening — Rule 36(4) initially capping un-uploaded ITC at 20%, then 10%, then 5% (Notification 75/2019-CT, 49/2019-CT, 94/2020-CT trajectory), then Section 16(2)(aa) mandating GSTR-2B as the eligibility baseline (Notification 39/2021-CT effective 1 January 2022) — has progressively tightened the mismatch tolerance to nil. Audit findings on FY 2020-21 onwards typically computes the mismatch quarter-wise; the registered person's defence rests on vendor-wise reconciliation, vendor follow-up correspondence, and the Suncraft Energy bona-fide-buyer principle where applicable.
Before the audit-team's arrival, the registered person should conduct an internal reconciliation walkthrough — replicating the audit-team's likely interrogation map. The walkthrough should cover: GSTR-1 outward supply versus books turnover; GSTR-3B Table 3.1 versus GSTR-1 invoice-summary; GSTR-3B Table 4(A) ITC claimed versus GSTR-2A / 2B vendor uploads; GSTR-9 Tables 4 to 8 versus GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B aggregates; GSTR-9C Tables 5, 7, 9, 12 to 14 versus audited financial statements. Any variance identified at the walkthrough is an opportunity for voluntary DRC-03 payment before the audit-team formalises it; voluntary disclosure during the walkthrough phase typically attracts no penalty under Section 73(5) read with Section 73(6).
For audits of even moderate complexity, engagement of a representation counsel — a Chartered Accountant with GST practice depth, or a tax advocate for procedural-rights-heavy cases — is the standard professional practice. The counsel's role is to mediate communication with the audit team, draft formal responses to audit observations, attend personal hearings, and prepare voluntary-disclosure computations where applicable. The Section 116 representation framework under the CGST Act permits authorised representatives — relatives, employees, advocates, Chartered Accountants, Cost Accountants, and Company Secretaries — to appear before the proper officer. The OECD Forum on Tax Administration documents counsel-engagement as a standard taxpayer-rights practice across mature tax jurisdictions.
For high-stake audits (multi-year audits, Section 66 special audit nominations, audits of multi-State enterprises), a mock audit by an independent reviewer — typically a former tax-department officer or a senior Chartered Accountant with audit-defence experience — is a useful preparation step. The mock auditor replicates the audit-team's risk-engine-driven interrogation, identifies weak documentary positions, and recommends remedial steps. The cost of mock audits is justified where the potential audit exposure (tax plus interest plus penalty) materially exceeds the mock-audit fee. Comparative income-tax practice has long used mock-audits for high-stake Section 143(3) scrutiny assessments and Section 142(2A) special audits; the GST extension of this practice is recent but growing.
What Kottivakkam clients usually ask next: For Kottivakkam engagements specifically — for the professional and salaried population of Kottivakkam navigating personal-tax and home-office GST.
Personal hearing under sub-section (4) of Section 75 is the opportunity granted by the proper officer or appellate authority to the registered person to present his case orally. Three adjournments at the option of the person sought to be heard are permitted on sufficient cause. Denial of personal hearing is a procedural infirmity.
Cross-examination is the right of the registered person, as part of the opportunity of being heard, to examine the witnesses or officers whose statements are relied on against him in adjudication. The right is sought through a written application during personal hearing. Denial is a recognised ground in first appeal under Section 107.
Reasons to believe is the jurisdictional threshold under sub-section (1) of Section 67 for inspection, search and seizure, and is invoked also in the special-audit context. The reasons must be recorded in writing and must rest on tangible material; subjective satisfaction without material is open to challenge.
Commissioner approval is the substantive condition for invoking special audit under sub-section (1) of Section 66. The proposing officer not below the rank of Assistant Commissioner must obtain prior approval of the Commissioner before issuing the direction in ADT-03. Approval without recorded reasons is open to challenge.
Officer not below the rank of Assistant Commissioner is the designation threshold under sub-section (1) of Section 66 for proposing the special audit. The rank requirement is a jurisdictional condition; a direction issued by a lower-ranked officer is vitiated for want of authority.
Records-availability test is the practical examination at the commencement of departmental audit of whether the registered person has produced books of account, invoices, contracts and reconciliations called for in ADT-01. The test sets the date of commencement of audit under the Explanation to Section 65(4) and the ninety-day clock runs from then.
Table 4 of GSTR-3B captures details of input tax credit. Sub-tables capture eligible ITC, ineligible ITC and reversals. Audit observations on Table 4 typically focus on mismatches between GSTR-2B-driven eligibility and credit availed in GSTR-3B, blocked credits under Section 17(5) and ITC on inward supplies under reverse charge.
Outward supply reconciliation is the comparison of turnover declared in GSTR-1, turnover declared in GSTR-3B, turnover declared in GSTR-9 and turnover as per audited financial statements. The reconciliation is the focal table of GSTR-9C and is a recurring audit observation area.
Sub-clause (aa) of sub-section (2) of Section 16 of the CGST Act conditions input tax credit on the details of the invoice or debit note being furnished by the supplier in GSTR-1 and communicated to the recipient. Departmental audit observations under this provision typically address ITC availed in respect of invoices not reflected in GSTR-2B.
Sub-section (5) of Section 17 of the CGST Act lists blocked credits — motor vehicles below thirteen-seater capacity, food and beverages, club membership, works contract for immovable property and others. Audit observations on Section 17(5) frequently require itemised reconciliation of ITC against the negative list.
Reverse charge audit is the subset of audit observations examining whether tax has been correctly paid by the recipient under sub-section (3) or (4) of Section 9 on notified supplies — goods transport agency, advocate services, sponsorship and others. The audit also tests whether ITC on RCM-paid tax has been availed only after payment of tax.
Composition audit is the audit of taxpayers paying tax under Section 10 of the CGST Act. The audit verifies turnover slabs, prohibited supplies (inter-State, e-commerce, ice-cream, pan masala, tobacco), maintenance of CMP filings and the rate of composition applied. CMP-08 quarterly statements and GSTR-4 annual return are the principal documents.

“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.”
“E-way bill register was incomplete for 4 months during the audit period — a serious finding under Section 65. FilingPro reconstructed the register from transporter LRs and warehouse logs, presented documentary backup to the audit team and avoided what would have been a substantial penalty.”
“Audit demand of ₹6.5 lakh was raised on RCM not paid for advocate fees over 3 years. FilingPro filed Section 107 first appeal with 10% pre-deposit, defended that the advocate was salaried and not in independent practice. Demand was set aside at first appellate stage.”
