Scrutiny is mainly by written reply, but the officer may ask you to meet or explain in person. You can attend yourself or through an authorised representative such as a CA.

Provisions

Sec 61, CGST Act 2017; Sec 116, CGST Act 2017

Analysis

Going prepared helps close the case faster. Carry the reconciliation, the ASMT-11 copy and key documents. Example: a 20-minute meeting where you walk through a Rs 12 lakh timing difference often settles it. Keep notes of what was discussed and send a short written summary after the meeting to keep a record.
