Editable Pre-Deposit in APL-01 : GST Appeal Update
The GST Advisory has been issued for Editable Pre-Deposit in APL-01 on 10-04-2026.Earlier, while filing an appeal in APL-01, the GST portal automatically fixed the pre-deposit at 10% (as per Section 107(6)) and you could not change it.
This created problems in cases like:
- You had already paid the amount earlier (e.g., through DRC-03), or
- The demand shown in the order was incorrect, or
- The pre-deposit was calculated wrongly by the system
Now from 6th April 2026, Now, GSTN has made the pre-deposit field editable. which means
- You can manually enter the correct pre-deposit amount
- You can adjust it based on payments already made
- You can correct system errors in demand calculation
This flexibility is not final approval.The Appellate Authority will verify that
- Whether the correct % is paid
- Whether payment is valid and proper.
