GST Adjudication Support

N D Savla & Associates

Adjudication is where GST disputes move from discussion to decision.

By the time a matter reaches adjudication, the department has reviewed data, issued notices, and evaluated replies. Now, an adjudicating officer will review facts, documents, and legal position before passing an order.

Here’s the reality. This stage is not just about submitting documents. It is about presenting your case clearly, technically, and convincingly.

At N D Savla & Associates, we help businesses prepare strong submissions, defend their GST position, and manage adjudication proceedings with structured strategy and documentation.


What is GST Adjudication?

GST adjudication is the process where the tax authority decides:

  • Whether tax demand should be confirmed

  • Whether ITC claim is valid

  • Whether penalty should apply

  • Whether refund claim is justified

  • Whether classification or tax position is correct

What this really means is this stage leads to a formal GST order that impacts tax liability, penalty, and future compliance.


When Adjudication Support is Needed

  • After Show Cause Notice reply is submitted

  • When personal hearing is scheduled

  • When department is not satisfied with earlier explanation

  • When tax demand is proposed

  • When ITC is disputed

  • When refund claims are under dispute

Proper preparation at this stage can significantly impact final outcome.
