GSTN Issues Advisory for Form GST DRC-03A

The GST Network (GSTN) has introduced Form GST DRC-03A to address issues where taxpayers paid demands using Form DRC-03 instead of the designated payment facility on the GST portal. This new form, notified on July 10, 2024, allows taxpayers to adjust payments made via DRC-03 against corresponding demand orders. Taxpayers must enter the ARN of the DRC-03 and the relevant demand order number on the portal. The system will auto-populate the necessary information, facilitating the adjustment process. This measure ensures that payments are accurately reflected in the taxpayer’s liability ledger, preventing discrepancies. The advisory includes detailed instructions and FAQs to guide taxpayers through the process. In case of technical issues, taxpayers can raise a ticket on the Grievance Redressal Portal. This initiative aims to streamline the payment adjustment process, ensuring accurate and efficient handling of demands.
