Analysis

The SOP says if the reply is not acceptable, Sec 73 or 74 action may follow within 30 days of the reply. DRC-01A is the pre-show cause step. Example: you explained a ₹1 lakh gap as timing, but the officer wants invoice lists; give them now in the DRC-01A reply. Paying accepted amounts at this stage keeps penalty lower.
