The assessed amount becomes recoverable. The department can start recovery, including attaching bank accounts.

Provisions

Sec 62, CGST Act 2017; Sec 79, CGST Act 2017; Sec 107, CGST Act 2017

Analysis

Circular 129/48/2019-GST says recovery under Sec 79 can follow if the return is not filed. The order can be appealed under Sec 107 within 3 months, with a pre-deposit. Example: ASMT-13 for ₹5 lakh; if you appeal, a 10 percent pre-deposit of the disputed tax is needed. Take advice quickly, because time limits for both appeal and recovery run in parallel.
