Most deficiency memos and notices come from missing documents, mismatched figures and risky supplier credit. A pre-filing check of documents, returns and suppliers avoids most of them.

Rule 89, CGST Rules 2017; Rule 90, CGST Rules 2017; Rule 92(3), CGST Rules 2017

Analysis

Example: an exporter files a monthly refund of Rs 5 lakh. A checklist covering correct category, period within one financial year, LUT on record, Statement 3 or 5, FIRC mapping, GSTR-1 and 3B match, supplier status in Annexure B and a validated bank account cuts deficiency memos sharply. Keep a refund file per period.
