Answer

1. F

   Facts

   You have 30 days from the ASMT-10 or any longer period the officer allows. You can ask for more time in writing with reasons.

2. P

   Provisions and law

   • Rule 99, CGST Rules 2017Discrepancies notified in ASMT-10, reply in ASMT-11 within 30 days or allowed time, acceptance in ASMT-12
   • Instruction 02/2022-GST (22 March 2022)SOP for scrutiny: one ASMT-10 per GSTIN per year, specific and quantified discrepancies, DRC-03 payments to be considered, timelines for ASMT-12 or further action
3. A

   Analysis

   Rule 99 allows 30 days or a further period permitted by the officer, and Instruction 02/2022-GST repeats this. Example: ASMT-10 dated 3 October asks for a reply by 2 November; if supplier data is still coming, write before 2 November asking for 15 more days. Do not let the date pass silently.

4. C

   Conclusion

   1. 1Note the date of the notice and the reply date.
   2. 2Start the reconciliation the same week.
   3. 3If you need more time, ask in writing before the deadline.
   4. 4File the reply on time.
