Frequently asked questions
Can anticipatory bail be sought in a GST matter?
Yes. The Supreme Court has held that anticipatory bail is available in GST and Customs matters, and that arrest safeguards must be followed.
My bank account has been attached. What can be done?
Provisional attachment is time-bound and must follow the statute. Objections can be filed, and an unlawful attachment can be challenged before the High Court.
Should I attend a GST summons?
A summons should not be ignored. Check what it requires, keep copies of documents produced, and take advice before giving a statement.
