Where businesses get stuck
The problems we see in gst notice defence
A hearing date already fixed
Notices often arrive with a short window. The reply still has to be complete, because it sets the record for every later stage.
Allegations built on portal data
GSTR-2A/2B mismatches, e-way bill data and supplier defaults are treated as proof of evasion until reconciled properly.
Replies filed without documents
A reply that is not tied to invoices, ledgers and contracts invites confirmation of the entire demand.
How we work
Our approach, step by step
01
Notice decoding
We separate what is actually alleged from what is assumed, and identify the sections and periods truly in issue.
02
Evidence assembly
Reconciliations, ledgers, contracts and transport records compiled into an annexure the officer can verify.
03
Reply drafting
A written reply that answers every allegation on facts and law, with jurisdictional objections preserved.
04
Personal hearing
We appear for you, record submissions properly and follow up until the order is passed.

The founder
Advocate Vinay Kumar Jain
Founder — VKJ Law Offices, Advocates & Solicitors
Vinay Kumar Jain built VKJ Law Offices around a single conviction: a business should never lose money, credit or peace of mind to a tax demand it did not deserve. For a decade he has defended manufacturers, traders, exporters and contractors against GST show cause notices, DGGI investigations, summons, arrest threats and blocked input tax credit.
He is known for meeting the department early — at the summons and investigation stage, long before a demand hardens — and for explaining every step to clients in plain language. That approach has resolved 500+ matters for over 2,000 businesses across India and abroad.

Questions clients ask
GST Notice Defence: straight answers
How long do I have to reply to a GST SCN?
Typically 30 days from service, though the notice governs. Extensions can be sought, but the reply should be built for the original date.
Can I reply myself and involve you only in appeal?
You can, but it is the harder route. The adjudication reply is the record an appellate authority reads, so it is far cheaper to get it right the first time.
What if the notice is time barred or without jurisdiction?
Those objections must be raised in the reply itself to survive appeal. We take them expressly rather than relying on argument later.
