This provides a vital recourse for businesses whose applications for penalty and interest waivers were denied. This detailed guide covers the context of the amnesty scheme, the significance of this new online appeal functionality, critical points to consider before filing (like the 'no withdrawal' policy and pre-deposit requirements), and a comprehensive step-by-step process for filing the appeal on the GST Portal.
