Statutory hooks that bite here — Across Virugambakkam, Virugambakkam healthcare and hospitality firms regularly face GST scrutiny on exempt-versus-taxable supplies and Section 194 TDS on contractor payments.
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 sourceSection 67 confers on the proper officer not below the rank of Joint Commissioner the power, where he has reasons to believe that a registered person has suppressed any transaction or has claimed input tax credit in excess of his entitlement or has indulged in contravention of any of the provisions of the Act with intent to evade tax, to authorise in writing any other officer to inspect any places of business. It is to be noted that Section 67 is a distinct enforcement track and is not the same as the audit jurisdiction under Section 65.
View sourceSub-section (7) of Section 65 provides that where the audit results in detection of tax not paid or short paid, erroneously refunded, or input tax credit wrongly availed or utilised, the proper officer may initiate action under Section 73 or Section 74. It is to be noted that this sub-section is the statutory bridge between the audit conclusion and adjudication proceedings.
View sourceSection 73 governs the determination of tax not paid, short paid, erroneously refunded, or input tax credit wrongly availed for reasons other than fraud, wilful misstatement or suppression of facts. Sub-section (1) requires the proper officer to issue a show-cause notice at least three months prior to the time-limit specified for issuance of order under sub-section (10). It is to be noted that post-audit adjudication frequently routes through Section 73 unless suppression is alleged.

Section 65 departmental audit and Section 66 special audit representation for Virugambakkam 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 Virugambakkam 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 Virugambakkam 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.
Section 35 with Rule 56 obliges the registered person to keep the universe of tax invoices, stock and production registers, ITC workings, output liability schedules, RCM register, e-way bill logs, IRN files, Section 17(5) computations and matched bank statements ready for production.
Section 36 fixes the horizon at six years measured from the GSTR-9 due date for that year. Where any appeal, revision or proceeding remains pending, retention runs until one year after final disposal or six years, whichever event is later in time.
A second Section 65 audit of the same period is generally not undertaken absent fresh material. However, special audit under Section 66 may be ordered even where Section 65 audit was earlier conducted, and other proceedings under the Act remain available where conditions are met.
Sub-section (1) of Section 65 allows the officer to elect between an on-premises audit and an office-of-the-officer audit. For most {{area_name}} taxpayers the on-site route is preferred so that books, statutory registers and electronic backups can be inspected together.
The audit unit is each GSTIN; assessment and book-keeping are GSTIN-specific even where the underlying PAN is common. The Tamil Nadu registration of a pan-India taxpayer is audited independently by the jurisdictional CGST or SGST authority covering that GSTIN.
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.
What Virugambakkam clients want to know before signing: On the ground in Virugambakkam, along the Arcot Road corridor of Virugambakkam between KK Nagar and Valasaravakkam.
Reading this guide locally — Across Virugambakkam, along the Arcot Road corridor of Virugambakkam between KK Nagar and Valasaravakkam. Practitioners note that Virugambakkam healthcare and hospitality firms regularly face GST scrutiny on exempt-versus-taxable supplies and Section 194 TDS on contractor payments.
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.
Pre-GST, the VAT regime in Tamil Nadu (Tamil Nadu VAT Act 2006) had an audit framework under Section 64 with mandatory CA audit certificates for dealers above prescribed turnover, and the Central Sales Tax framework had limited audit coverage focused on inter-State transactions. The GST framework consolidates and rationalises this — a single audit under Section 65 covers central, State and integrated tax dimensions; the cooperative-federal architecture under Article 246A and 279A means the audit can be conducted by either the central or State authority but not both (Section 6 cross-empowerment). The OECD International VAT/GST Guidelines emphasise audit-efficiency through risk-based selection and digital data analytics, both of which the Indian framework has incorporated through GSTN-driven analytics and the GSTR-9C self-certification feed.
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.
ADT-02 audit observations are structured around the verification heads — turnover under Section 9 read with Section 7, taxable value under Section 15, rate of tax under the rate notifications, ITC under Sections 16 to 21, refund under Sections 54 and 55, and miscellaneous compliance. Each observation typically includes the audit team's working, the discrepancy quantum, the section / rule under which the proposed addition is framed, and the proper officer's reasoning. The Kranti Associates v Masood Ahmed Khan (2010) Supreme Court principle on reasoned orders applies — the proper officer's reasoning must engage with the registered person's explanations and cannot be a mechanical reproduction of audit-team working. Where reasoning is absent or perfunctory, the registered person has stronger grounds in subsequent Section 73 / 74 proceedings or in a writ petition before the Madras High Court under Article 226.
Section 73(5) of the CGST Act allows the registered person to pay the tax along with interest under Section 50 on the basis of own ascertainment or as ascertained by the proper officer and inform the proper officer of such payment in Form DRC-03 before service of an SCN under Section 73(1). Where the registered person agrees with the ADT-02 findings, voluntary payment under Section 73(5) avoids the SCN cycle entirely and limits the financial impact to tax plus interest, without penalty. Section 73(6) then mandates that no SCN shall be issued in respect of the amount paid. This voluntary-payment route is the preferred audit-closure mechanism for genuine ITC errors, classification mis-applications and minor valuation gaps, and is widely used in practice.
Where the registered person disagrees with one or more ADT-02 findings, the response options are: (a) file a Section 75 representation seeking re-consideration before the SCN stage; (b) await the SCN under Section 73 or 74 and contest at that stage; (c) where the audit findings are perceived as jurisdictionally infirm, file a writ petition before the Madras High Court under Article 226 of the Constitution. The writ remedy is typically reserved for jurisdictional infirmities — absence of Commissioner approval under Section 66, breach of the Section 65(4) timeline, denial of Section 75 opportunity of hearing — rather than for merit-based challenges. The Aap and Co v UoI (Gujarat HC) and Asahi India Glass v UoI (P&H HC) lines of authority offer guidance on writ-jurisdictional questions in audit and assessment matters.
Form GST ADT-03 is the cost-recovery determination notice under Rule 102 of the CGST Rules read with Section 66(4) of the CGST Act. Section 66(4) provides that the expenses of the examination and audit of records under Section 66, including remuneration payable to the Chartered Accountant or Cost Accountant nominated by the Commissioner, shall be determined and paid by the Commissioner; ADT-03 is the form through which this determination is communicated to the registered person, and the amount becomes payable as a Government dues recovery under Section 79. The Rule 102 framework was added to provide procedural clarity on the cost-recovery mechanism; comparative pre-GST excise (Section 14A Central Excise Act, since omitted) and service tax (Section 72A Finance Act 1994) had similar cost-recovery features.
The Commissioner determines the remuneration of the nominated Chartered Accountant or Cost Accountant under Section 66(4) based on rates broadly aligned with the ICAI and ICMAI minimum recommended scales for special-audit work. The registered person typically has no direct say in either the selection of the CA/CMA or the remuneration determination — both are administrative decisions of the Commissioner. Challenges to ADT-03 cost-recovery are rare in practice and usually focus on the underlying Section 66 nomination itself rather than the quantum. Where the Section 66 nomination was procedurally infirm (no Commissioner approval, no opportunity of being heard, no recorded reasons), the consequential ADT-03 cost-recovery similarly becomes vulnerable in writ proceedings. The OECD Forum on Tax Administration documents this cost-recovery pattern as common across jurisdictions that use specialist-audit tiers.
Once ADT-03 is served, the cost-recovery amount becomes payable within the timeline specified in the form (typically thirty days). Non-payment triggers Section 79 of the CGST Act — the Government dues recovery framework — which empowers the proper officer to recover the amount through modes including deduction from any amount due to the registered person, sale of any movable or immovable property, attachment of bank accounts under Section 83 provisional attachment, and recovery as land revenue arrears. The registered person can apply for instalment-payment under Section 80 read with Rule 158 where genuine financial hardship exists; the Commissioner has discretion to allow up to twenty-four monthly instalments subject to interest under Section 50.
The GST retention framework operates alongside the Income Tax Act Section 44AA requirement to maintain books of account for specified professions and businesses (with retention under Rule 6F for six years), and the Companies Act 2013 Section 128 requirement for books of account preservation for at least eight years preceding the current year. The longest applicable horizon governs — for a company carrying on a taxable supply business, the effective records-retention period is the Companies Act eight-year horizon. The OECD International VAT/GST Guidelines recommend a minimum retention of five years tied to the audit-period limitation, which the Indian GST framework comfortably exceeds. Coordinated retention policies across GST, income tax and Companies Act dimensions are the typical compliance design at well-run enterprises.
Section 35(1) of the CGST Act requires every registered person to keep and maintain, at his principal place of business and at every additional place of business mentioned in the certificate of registration, a true and correct account of production or manufacture of goods, inward and outward supply of goods or services or both, stock of goods, input tax credit availed, output tax payable and paid, and such other particulars as may be prescribed. Section 36 mandates that every registered person required to keep books and accounts under Section 35 shall retain them until the expiry of seventy-two months from the due date of furnishing the annual return for the year pertaining to such accounts. The seventy-two-month (six-year) retention horizon aligns with the Section 73 normal-period limitation of three years from the due date of the annual return, and the Section 74 extended-period limitation of five years, with a safety margin.
Rule 56 of the CGST Rules elaborates the records to be maintained under Section 35 — accounts of goods or services received and supplied, stock of goods (with opening balance, receipt, supply, goods lost stolen destroyed written off or disposed of by way of gift or free sample, balance), particulars of ITC availed, output tax payable and paid, names and complete addresses of suppliers and customers, complete addresses of premises where goods are stored including goods stored during transit, monthly production accounts (for manufacturers) showing quantitative details of raw materials and goods produced, and accounts of advances received and paid. Rule 57 provides for maintenance through electronic means with prescribed safeguards. Rule 58 covers transporter, owner and operator of warehouse records. The records-architecture is granular and audit teams systematically map registered-person records against the Rule 56 schema during Section 65 audits.

Adverse audit finding is an observation recorded by the proper officer in the audit notes under sub-rule (4) of Rule 101 or in the communication under ADT-02 that points to short payment of tax, erroneous refund, or wrongly availed input tax credit. It is the precursor to action under Section 73 or Section 74.
Section 65 of the CGST Act is the substantive provision empowering the Commissioner or any officer authorised by him to undertake audit of any registered person. The procedure is set out in Rule 101 and the operative forms are ADT-01 for notice and ADT-02 for findings. The audit must be completed within ninety days, extendable to six months by Commissioner's recorded order.
Section 66 of the CGST Act is the special audit provision. The officer not below the rank of Assistant Commissioner, with prior approval of the Commissioner, may direct the registered person to get his records audited by a chartered accountant or cost accountant nominated by the Commissioner. The procedure is set out in Rule 102.
Section 35 of the CGST Act is the records-maintenance provision. Sub-section (1) requires every registered person to keep and maintain books of account and records at the principal place of business. Sub-section (5), now omitted with effect from 1 August 2021, earlier required mandatory audit by a chartered accountant for turnover above the prescribed threshold.
Section 36 of the CGST Act is the records-retention provision. Every registered person required to maintain accounts under Section 35(1) must retain them until the expiry of seventy-two months from the due date of furnishing the annual return for the financial year pertaining to the records. Pending appeal or revision extends the retention period.
Section 67 of the CGST Act is the inspection, search and seizure provision. The proper officer not below the rank of Joint Commissioner, where he has reasons to believe that tax has been suppressed or credit has been wrongly availed with intent to evade tax, may authorise inspection of places of business. Section 67 is a distinct enforcement track and is not the same as the audit jurisdiction under Section 65.
Section 73 of the CGST Act governs the determination of tax not paid, short paid, erroneously refunded or input tax credit wrongly availed for reasons other than fraud, wilful misstatement or suppression of facts. Order under sub-section (10) may be passed within three years from the due date of annual return; SCN at least three months prior.
Section 74 of the CGST Act governs the determination of tax not paid, short paid, erroneously refunded or input tax credit wrongly availed by reason of fraud, wilful misstatement or suppression of facts to evade tax. The limitation extends to five years from the due date of the annual return. Penalty equal to the tax demanded is leviable.
Rule 101 of the CGST Rules prescribes the procedure for audit under Section 65. Sub-rule (1) provides that the audit period shall be a financial year or part thereof or multiples thereof. Sub-rule (2) prescribes Form ADT-01 for the audit notice. Sub-rule (4) deals with discrepancy notes and sub-rule (5) prescribes Form ADT-02 for communication of findings.
Rule 102 of the CGST Rules prescribes the procedure for special audit under Section 66. Sub-rule (1) prescribes Form ADT-03 for the direction to the registered person, and sub-rule (2) prescribes Form ADT-04 for communication of the findings of the special audit to the registered person.
Place of audit is governed by sub-section (2) of Section 65 which permits the audit to be conducted either at the place of business of the registered person or at the office of the proper officer. The choice rests with the department; the registered person does not have a unilateral right to require off-site audit.
Date of commencement of audit is defined in the Explanation to sub-section (4) of Section 65. It is 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. The ninety-day completion clock runs from this date.

“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.”
