The Goods and Service Tax Appellate Tribunal (GSTAT) has issued the advisory that what a Taxpayers should do in cases where online payment of court fees has been made but the payment status is not reflected as “Success”.
The GSTAT has advised the taxpayer to wait for up to 72 hours from the time of making the payment, as the status update may take some time due to payment processing delays.
If the payment status does not update to “Success” even after 72 hours, the system will not restrict or prevent the filing of the appeal. In such situations, the taxpayer will be allowed to proceed with the appeal filing process on the GSTAT portal without any interruption.
The payment status will be appropriately reconciled at the backend, and the appeal filing process shall not be adversely affected.
Taxpayers are requested to take note of the above and proceed accordingly.
