Received a GST notice for your Navi Mumbai business? We reply to scrutiny and show cause notices, represent you at hearings and file appeals, for businesses from Vashi and Belapur to Taloja, Kharghar, Ulwe and Panvel.
Jurisdiction
Which GST office issued your notice?
Every GST registration in Navi Mumbai is assigned either to the Maharashtra State Tax department or to a CGST commissionerate of the Mumbai Zone. The office is printed in the header of the notice and on your registration certificate (REG-06), and shown under your profile on the GST portal.
Businesses in the Panvel and Uran belt may also deal with the CGST Raigad Commissionerate, at GST Bhavan, Sector 17, Khandeshwar, New Panvel (source).
The office matters because it decides who hears your reply and who hears your first appeal. Second appeals from Navi Mumbai go to the Mumbai state bench of the GST Appellate Tribunal, and from there to the Bombay High Court.

FAQ
GST notice questions from Navi Mumbai
Can you handle my Navi Mumbai GST notice without me visiting Alibag?
Yes. Notices, replies and most hearings are on the GST portal, so we work with Navi Mumbai clients online and by phone. Where an officer asks for an in-person hearing, we arrange for you to be represented.
How do I know whether my notice is from State GST or Central GST?
Check the header of the notice and your registration certificate (REG-06). On the GST portal, your profile shows the State or Centre jurisdiction assigned to your GSTIN.
Where will my GST appeal be heard?
The first appeal goes to the Appellate Authority of the department that issued the order. A second appeal goes to the Mumbai state bench of the GST Appellate Tribunal, and further appeals or writs go to the Bombay High Court.
My goods were detained near JNPA for an e-way bill issue. Can you help?
Yes. Contact us the same day. We help get the goods released, contest the penalty where the lapse was technical, and appeal the MOV-09 order if needed.
