The Goods and Services Tax Network has clarified that taxpayers who make payments at the SCN stage without accepting liability, they can still file appeals. If adjudication orders wrongly show “NIL” demand, the GST portal blocks appeals. Taxpayers should seek a rectification order to reflect the correct demand, after which appeals can be filed within prescribed timelines under GST law.
