Grounds of appeal are the specific reasons why the order is wrong in law or facts. Each ground should be short and numbered. They must link to evidence and to points already raised before the officer.

Provisions

Sec 107(1), CGST Act 2017; Sec 75(4), CGST Act 2017

Analysis

Typical grounds are wrong facts, ignoring the reply, no hearing given, wrong section, demand beyond time limit, and wrong computation. Example: Ground 1, the order ignores the reply dated 10 June with supplier certificates; Ground 2, no personal hearing was given, violating Sec 75(4); Ground 3, interest is computed on gross liability instead of net cash. Keep a separate prayer asking to set aside the order.
