The #GSTAT has activated the Token Generation functionality on its e-filing portal. This facility is specifically intended for #taxpayers and authorised representatives who face technical or other issues while filing an appeal before the #GSTAppellateTribunal.
What is the PURPOSE of this Token?
The Token serves as a formal record of your intent to file an appeal on or before 31st July 2026. If generated within the prescribed timeline, it protects your right to file the #appeal even if the actual filing could not be completed due to portal-related difficulties.
KEY POINTS to remember:
✅ Generate the Token on or before 31st July 2026, if you’re unable to complete the appeal filing.
✅ The actual appeal must be filed within 60 days from the date of Token generation.
✅ A separate Token is required for each appeal.
✅ Ensure all details entered are accurate. Tokens generated with incomplete or incorrect information may be treated as invalid.
This is a significant procedural safeguard introduced by the GSTAT. However, taxpayers should not treat the Token as the appeal itself. It merely preserves the intent to file – the appeal process must still be completed within the stipulated 60-day period to avail the benefit.
