GST Litigation · Panaji, Goa
End-to-end GST audit and assessment support in Goa for businesses facing a departmental audit under Section 65 or a special audit under Section 66 — document preparation, reconciliation, ADT-01 response and CA representation so the audit closes cleanly.
Overview
When the department selects your GSTIN for audit, you receive a notice in Form ADT-01 and must produce books, returns and reconciliations within a fixed window. A weak or delayed response is the most common reason a routine audit escalates into a demand under Section 73, 74 or 74A.
We act as your single point of contact for the entire audit. We reconcile your GST returns, books and financials, draft the responses, attend on your behalf and resolve discrepancies before they harden into the audit report (Form ADT-02). Where issues are flagged, we move straight into demand and SCN handling.

Frequently asked questions
Section 65 lets the GST department audit any registered person's records for a financial year or part of it. The audit begins with a notice in Form ADT-01, and the findings are communicated in Form ADT-02 within the time allowed. We manage the records, replies and representation throughout.
A special audit under Section 66 is ordered by the Commissioner when the nature or complexity of the records warrants it. It is conducted by a Chartered Accountant or Cost Accountant nominated by the department, and the report is given in Form ADT-04. We coordinate fully with the nominated auditor and protect your position.
For a departmental audit under Section 65, the law requires at least fifteen working days' prior notice through Form ADT-01. The audit should ordinarily be completed within three months, extendable by the Commissioner. We use the notice period to prepare a clean, reconciled file.
Typically GSTR-1, GSTR-3B and GSTR-9 returns, books of account, purchase and sales registers, e-way bills, ITC ledgers and reconciliations such as GSTR-2B versus books. We assemble and reconcile all of these before submission to avoid avoidable queries.
