ASMT-14 Notice - What it Means

What does ASMT-14 mean?

Since you didn't file your returns even after the GSTR-3A non-filing notice, the department has assessed your tax based on their best judgment using available data. This amount is usually MUCH HIGHER than your actual liability. File your actual returns within 30 days to cancel this assessment.

What happens if you ignore it
