Central GST Dispute Lawyer in Lucknow — CGST Notices, Appeals & Writs
Overview
Counsel you can reach, in courts we appear in daily
Lucknow is home to government contractors, chikankari, real estate and services — sectors that regularly face scrutiny from the CGST Lucknow Zone and the Directorate General of GST Intelligence (DGGI). APS Law represents Lucknow 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 Uttar Pradesh. Where a notice lacks jurisdiction, breaches natural justice or a bank account is provisionally attached, we approach the Allahabad High Court (Lucknow Bench).
Most GST proceedings are now conducted on the GST portal and through virtual hearings, so Lucknow 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 Lucknow?
Central GST notices in Lucknow are issued by officers of the CGST Lucknow Zone (Range, Division or Commissionerate level) or by DGGI. State-administered taxpayers may instead receive notices under the UPGST 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 Lucknow heard?
First appeals go to the Commissioner (Appeals) of the CGST Lucknow Zone, then to the GST Appellate Tribunal (GSTAT) bench for Uttar Pradesh. Writ petitions on jurisdiction, natural justice or bank attachment are filed before the Allahabad High Court (Lucknow 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 Lucknow 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 Allahabad High Court (Lucknow 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.
