Procedure / FAQ for filing Form DRC-03 intimation of payment made voluntarily or against Show Cause Notice (SCN)
Form DRC-03 enables a taxpayer to pay tax by raising its liability voluntarily or in response to the show cause notice (SCN) raised by the Department.
Form DRC-03 can be filed for making a voluntary payment of outstanding tax liabilities u/s 73 and 74 of the CGST Act 2017.
A taxpayer can determine the tax voluntarily before issuance of SCN or within 30 days of SCN to avoid the demand and recovery proceedings.
Payment on Voluntary Basis is a facility given to tax payers to make payment u/s 73 or 74 of the CGST Act, 2017 within 30 days of issuance of Show Cause Notice (SCN). Payment could also be made by taxpayers before SCN is issued.
You can make voluntary payment before issue of notice u/s 73 or 74 of the CGST Act, 2017 or within 30 days of issue of show cause notice (SCN) under the said sections. You cannot make voluntary payment after 30 days of issue of SCN.
The pre-conditions to make voluntary payment are:
a. In case, voluntary payment is made before issue of SCN
b. In case, voluntary payment is made after issue of SCN or statement
GST Portal does not allow for making partial payments against a liability raised in a SCN. Complete payment of the amount being demanded in SCN has to be made.
