Voluntary payment, DRC-03, and linking to demand, DRC-03A

What this means, checked by a CA

DRC-03 is how you pay GST you missed, on your own, before or during a notice. DRC-03A fixes a common mistake: paying a demand through DRC-03 so the demand still shows as unpaid. We compute tax and interest, file DRC-03 under the right cause, and link it to any demand with DRC-03A so your ledger is clean.
