Deadline check
Work out your last date to appeal
Enter the date the order was communicated to you. We'll show the normal time limit and the outer limit with condonation.
- The clock starts when the order is communicated, which is usually the date it was uploaded on the portal, not the date you noticed it.
- Condonation is not automatic. You must show sufficient cause for the delay, so plan for the normal date.
- Pre-deposit must be paid before filing. Keep the funds ready well before the last date.

தமிழிலும் கேட்கலாம்.
How long do I have to appeal a GST demand order?
Three months from the date the order is communicated to you. The Appellate Authority can allow one further month if you show sufficient cause for the delay. Use the deadline check above, and share the order as early as possible.
Do I have to pay anything to file an appeal?
Yes. A pre-deposit of 10% of the disputed tax is required for the first appeal. Once it is paid, recovery of the balance is generally stayed while the appeal is pending. A further pre-deposit applies for an appeal to the Tribunal.
My supplier's registration was cancelled later. Can my ITC be saved?
Often, yes, where the supplier was registered when the invoice was issued and you can show the purchase was genuine with invoices and bank payment proof. Each case turns on its facts, so bring the documents listed above.
An order was passed without hearing me. What can I do?
An ex parte order can be challenged in appeal, and the lack of a hearing is an important ground. The time limit still runs from when the order was communicated, so act quickly.
My appeal was rejected. Is there another option?
Yes. The GST Appellate Tribunal's Chennai Bench now hears second appeals from Tamil Nadu. The appeal must be filed within three months of the appellate order.
Do you handle cases outside Chennai?
Yes. Replies and appeals are filed online, so we work with businesses across Tamil Nadu and attend hearings in person where required.
