Central GST Dispute Lawyer in Indore — CGST Notices, Appeals & Writs
Overview
Counsel you can reach, in courts we appear in daily
Indore is home to FMCG, pharma, soya processing and trading — sectors that regularly face scrutiny from the CGST Bhopal Zone (Indore Commissionerate) and the Directorate General of GST Intelligence (DGGI). APS Law represents Indore taxpayers in Central GST disputes, from the first summons or DRC-01A intimation through adjudication, appeal and writ proceedings.
We draft show-cause notice replies under Sections 73 and 74 of the CGST Act, contest input tax credit denials, defend audit and investigation findings, and file appeals before the Commissioner (Appeals) and the GSTAT bench for Madhya Pradesh. Where a notice lacks jurisdiction, breaches natural justice or a bank account is provisionally attached, we approach the Madhya Pradesh High Court (Indore Bench).
Most GST proceedings are now conducted on the GST portal and through virtual hearings, so Indore clients receive the same senior attention as our Mumbai clients, with local counsel engaged for physical appearances when required.

FAQ
Questions clients ask
Who issues Central GST notices to businesses in Indore?
Central GST notices in Indore are issued by officers of the CGST Bhopal Zone (Indore Commissionerate) (Range, Division or Commissionerate level) or by DGGI. State-administered taxpayers may instead receive notices under the MPGST Act. We first identify the correct proper officer, because a notice from an officer without jurisdiction can itself be challenged.
Where are Central GST appeals from Indore heard?
First appeals go to the Commissioner (Appeals) of the CGST Bhopal Zone (Indore Commissionerate), then to the GST Appellate Tribunal (GSTAT) bench for Madhya Pradesh. Writ petitions on jurisdiction, natural justice or bank attachment are filed before the Madhya Pradesh High Court (Indore Bench).
How much pre-deposit is required to file a GST appeal?
10% of the disputed tax (subject to statutory caps) for the first appeal and a further deposit for the Tribunal. Once deposited, recovery of the balance is stayed automatically.
Can you handle my Indore GST matter from Mumbai?
Yes. Replies, personal hearings and appeals are largely conducted online through the GST portal and virtual hearings. Where a physical appearance before the Madhya Pradesh High Court (Indore Bench) is needed, we coordinate with local counsel while retaining strategy and drafting.
What should I do immediately after receiving a DRC-01 or SCN?
Note the reply deadline, do not pay under pressure without advice, collect invoices, GSTR-1/3B/2B data and supplier records, and send the notice to us. Seeking personal hearing in writing is important.
