It was submitted that the appeal was physically filed after defects and delayed uploading of the DRC-07 summary on the GST portal, which caused bona fide confusion regarding the limitation period. The petitioner, an aged proprietor with medical issues, contended that the limitation should run from the communication of the order-in-original rather than the defective portal upload. The matter was accordingly placed before the High Court.<\/p>\n<h2><em>High Court Held<\/em><\/h2>\n<p>The High Court held that the appeal filing framework under Section 107 of CGST Act and Rule 108 of the CGST Rules permitted manual filing where the order summary on the portal was defective or delayed. The Court noted that strict adherence to the 23-day limitation was unjustified in view of the bona fide confusion and procedural defects in DRC-07. It directed that the limitation should be reckoned from the communication of the order-in-original and set aside the impugned appellate order, remanding the matter for fresh decision in accordance with law.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Case Details: Padmaja Gas Agencies vs. Additional Commissioner Appeals (2025) 36 Centax&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":6917,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[37,60,189],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6915","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-gst","category-news","category-gst-case-chronicles"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>HC Allows GST Appeal Delay Due to Defective DRC-07 and Upload Delay<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"HC permits 23-day delayed GST appeal, holding limitation runs from communication of order where DRC-07 was defective and upload delayed;
