Who this is for

Taxpayers facing unofficial cash demands for filings or refunds.

Real life (simple)

  • A tax consultant linked to an office says refund needs “speed money”.
  • Real-life move: refuse. Use the official GST portal trail. Complain to the tax department grievance channel with ARN / acknowledgment.

What to do (step by step)

  1. Use only official portals for filing and payment.
  2. Refuse cash demands. Ask for a written fee notice.
  3. Note officer name, desk, date, and amount demanded.
  4. File grievance on the tax department channel and CPGRAMS.
  5. If a private agent cheated you, add a consumer or police complaint.
  6. Keep portal screenshots and acknowledgement numbers.

Tips

  • Keep written proof.
  • Ask for acknowledgement numbers.
  • Escalate if there is silence.

Warnings

  • Do not use violence.
  • Do not send private files to Trishola. Stay on official portals.
