Why GST notices are rising even for “honest” businesses
Shunyatax Global says that… India ka GST ecosystem ab automated checks par chal raha hai:
GSTR-1 vs GSTR-3B mismatch
ITC claimed vs GSTR-2B mismatch
supplier filings vs buyer claims
Ye comparisons ke base par “discrepancies” par scrutiny initiate ho sakti hai, jisme Section 61 (scrutiny of returns) ka route use hota hai

Agar tax/ITC wrong availed/utilised dikh jaye (non-fraud cases), to Section 73 ke under demand notice workflow bhi trigger ho sakta hai

Number reality:
“Small” mismatch bhi process start karwa deta hai, kyunki system ko %/amount deviation se farq padta hai, intent se nahi (pehle stage par)
ITC mismatch workflow ke liye system-based intimations (jaise DRC-01C mechanics) ka concept industry explain karti hai

5 accounting errors that commonly trigger GST notices (SME reality)
1) Missing or delayed purchase entries (most common)
Invoice late entry → ITC claim timing mismatch
Outcome: GSTR-3B ≠ GSTR-2B, system discrepancy flag

Rate impact (typical):
Monthly 200 invoices wale SME me agar 5% invoices late enter hue = 10 invoices mismatch risk
2) Sales invoice classification errors
Inter-state vs intra-state, B2B vs B2C, HSN/SAC mapping me slip
Outcome: outward tax liability mismatch (GSTR-1 vs 3B)

Rate impact (typical):
1% classification error on ₹50,00,000 sales = ₹50,000 base value wrong mapping → tax difference + queries risk
3) Vendor non-compliance (supplier files late / wrong)
Buyer ne ITC claim kiya, supplier ka invoice 2B me reflect nahi hua
Outcome: ITC scrutiny, working capital hit, follow-ups

Number reality:
30 vendors me agar 10% vendors irregular = 3 vendors recurring mismatch sources
4) Reconciliation “monthly” nahi hota (quarterly/annual mindset)
GST time-sensitive hota hai; delay se correction windows miss ho sakti hai
Outcome: cleanup heavy + notice probability up

Efficiency stats (practical ops):
Weekly recon vs quarterly recon = issue detection speed 4×–12× faster (1 week vs 1–3 months)
5) “CA will handle everything” assumption
CA compliance-driven hota hai; bookkeeping daily control system hota hai
Outcome: filing ho jaati hai, par books messy → notices ka root cause wahi रहता hai

The simple prevention system (SME-friendly)
Shunyatax Global says that… aapko “perfect accounts” nahi, repeatable system chahiye:
Weekly bank reconciliation: 7 days me mismatch pakdo (not 90 days)
2B vs Purchase Register match: month end se pehle gap list nikaalo
Vendor tracker: top 20 vendors me filing discipline score rakho (0–100)
Exception reporting: mismatch > 1% of invoices ho to same week fix trigger
