GST Section 74 Order (Chennai) – Need Advice on Appeal & Payment
I received a GST Order-in-Original under Section 74 for ITC issue (fake invoice case).
Order date: 27-12-2025
Demand:
- Tax: ₹13.8L
- Penalty: ₹13.8L
- Interest extra
I did not attend the hearing earlier, so order was passed ex-parte.
Current situation:
- My salary account lien marked.
Planning next steps:
- Should I go for appeal (APL-01) or settlement?
- Can penalty be reduced in appeal?
- Is installment/EMI option possible in such cases?
- How to choose the right GST litigation CA/advocate in Chennai?
If anyone has faced similar GST issues, please share your experience and what worked for you.
