Short answerRead which notice it is — ASMT-10 is a scrutiny of your returns, DRC-01 is a demand, REG notices relate to your registration, and a show-cause notice asks you to explain. Each has a deadline on the GST portal; respond there with reconciliations and documents, and get help for any demand.

SCN: show-cause, asking you to explain
Respond on the portal, on time
Reply within the deadline with reconciliations and supporting documents. For any demand or DRC-01, involve a CA early. Our GST service handles notices.
