GST Litigation · Panaji, Goa
Skilled representation in GST adjudication proceedings in Goa — written submissions, personal-hearing advocacy and a clean evidentiary record before the adjudicating authority, so the order under Section 73/74/74A is reasoned, fair and appeal-ready.
Overview
Adjudication is the stage where the adjudicating authority decides a show cause notice and passes the demand order in Form DRC-07. It is your last chance to be heard at the original level — and the quality of your submissions and personal hearing here shapes everything that follows on appeal.
We build the adjudication record properly: detailed written submissions, documentary evidence, case law, and effective advocacy at the personal hearing. We insist on the principles of natural justice — adequate hearing, no travelling beyond the notice, and a speaking order — so that if the order is still adverse, it is squarely appealable.

Frequently asked questions
Adjudication is the process by which the adjudicating authority examines a show cause notice, hears the taxpayer, and passes an order determining the tax, interest and penalty in Form DRC-07. It is the original decision-making stage before any appeal. We represent you fully at this stage.
The personal hearing is your opportunity to explain your case directly, clarify documents and answer the authority's queries before the order is passed. A well-argued hearing can change the outcome, and a poorly handled one can lock in an adverse order. We attend and argue on your behalf.
The authority must give you a fair and adequate opportunity to be heard, cannot go beyond the grounds in the show cause notice, and must pass a reasoned, speaking order. We insist on these so that any unfair order can be set aside on appeal.
A speaking order is one that records reasons and deals with each of your submissions, rather than confirming the demand mechanically. A non-speaking order is vulnerable on appeal. We make submissions that compel the authority to engage with our arguments.
No. The order must stay within the scope of the show cause notice; the authority cannot confirm a demand on grounds not put to you. If it does, that part of the order is liable to be quashed, and we raise this point both at hearing and on appeal.
An adverse DRC-07 order can be challenged in a first appeal under Section 107 within three months, subject to a pre-deposit, and onward before the GST Appellate Tribunal. Because we build the record carefully, your appeal starts on solid ground.
