In response, the company filed an appeal along with supporting documents within the specified timeframe. The appellate authority reviewed the submission and ruled in favor of the company.

The appeal order confirms that the revised demand amount is zero, effectively nullifying the original Demand Notice. This resolution concludes the litigation related to the GST demand for the financial year 2020-21.
