๐จ GST Appeal Filing Asking for Pre-Deposit Again? Hereโs the Real Reason (GSTN Advisory 2026)
Many taxpayers are facing this confusing situation ๐
๐ You already paid tax during investigation via DRC-03
๐ But while filing appeal, GST portal still asks for pre-deposit
Sounds like double payment? ๐ค
Itโs NOT โ hereโs whatโs actually happening.
๐ข GSTN Clarification (14 March 2026)
The issue arises because:
โ DRC-03 payments are NOT automatically linked to Demand ID
And the GST portal checks payment only against Demand ID while filing appeal.
โก Quick Solution:
๐ You need to file Form GST DRC-03A
This will:
โ Link your earlier DRC-03 payment
โ Map it to the correct Demand ID
โ Allow the system to recognize your payment
โ Help avoid unnecessary duplicate pre-deposit
๐ง Why This Happens:
GST portal logic is simple:
It checks Electronic Liability Register (Demand ID)
NOT just whether payment was made earlier
So even if you paid beforeโฆ
๐ If it's not linked โ system treats it as unpaid
โ ๏ธ Common Mistake to Avoid:
Many taxpayers:
โ Make another DRC-03 payment
๐ When the real issue is just missing linkage
โ
Before Filing Appeal, Check This:
Demand Order issued?
Demand ID identified?
DRC-03 payment made earlier?
Linked using DRC-03A?
Reflected in Liability Register?
๐ก Key Insight:
This is a system logic issue, not a payment issue.
Fix the linkage โ avoid duplicate payment.

๐ข Important GST Update โ Advisory 647 (Interest on IGST & ITC Utilisation)
GSTN has issued Advisory 647 clarifying how interest will be calculated when Input Tax Credit (ITC) is wrongly utilised while paying IGST liability.
Earlier, taxpayers often received notices demanding interest on the entire tax amount. The advisory now clarifies an important point:
๐ Interest will apply only on the portion of tax that should have been paid in cash, and only for the period during which ineligible or excess ITC was utilised.
This clarification is very important during:
โข GST reconciliation
โข Department notices
โข Audit preparation
โข Return corrections
Understanding this properly can help businesses avoid unnecessary interest demands and penalties.
