📩 Facing GST SPL-03 Notice? Here’s How to Draft the Perfect Reply Cover Letter under GST Amnesty Scheme 2023! 🧾

✅ Issued SPL-03 Notice under GST Amnesty Scheme?
Don’t panic! The GST Amnesty Scheme 2023 is your golden chance to settle long-pending dues and avoid harsh penalties. But responding correctly is crucial — and it all begins with a well-drafted cover letter to the jurisdictional officer.

📌 What is an SPL-03 Notice?
Under the special amnesty drive initiated by the CBIC, taxpayers who have not filed final returns (GSTR-10) or cancelled registrations were served SPL-03 Notices. These are part of the adjudication process under Section 73/74 of CGST Act. You must reply within 15 days to avoid adverse action!

✍️ What Should a Reply Cover Letter Include?

A proper Reply Cover Letter should reflect:

• 📅 Reference of the SPL-03 Notice with date

• 🧑‍💼 Name, GSTIN, and details of the taxpayer

• 📄 Clear declaration that liability is being paid under the Amnesty Scheme

• 📝 Mention of challan number and amount paid

• 🙏 Request for dropping further proceedings under Section 73/74

📝 Sample Format Highlights
