Facts
Sec 161 allows the officer to rectify an error apparent on the face of the record, on his own or on your application, generally within three months of the order. Rectification is applied for and issued through DRC-08 under Rule 142(7).
Provisions and law
- Sec 161, CGST Act 2017Rectification of errors apparent on the face of the record
- Rule 142(7), CGST Rules 2017Rectification of an order in DRC-08
Analysis
If tax is added twice, or a payment you made is ignored, rectification is faster than appeal. But rectification does not stop the appeal clock, so if the main dispute is on merits, file the appeal in time as well. Keep the rectification limited to obvious errors.
Conclusion
- List the clear errors with evidence
- Apply for rectification on the portal
- Track the DRC-08 rectified order
- File appeal within time if the merits are disputed
