To check a submitted appeal against a GST demand order, sign in to the GST Portal and open Services > User Services > My Applications. Choose Appeal to Appellate Authority, enter a date range, and select Search. This displays the appeal application and its recorded status. That lookup is not the same as checking the live status of the underlying demand: the official help materials cited here do not confirm a separate, current demand-status screen or navigation path.
Check the status of a submitted demand appeal
- Sign in to the GST Portal using the taxpayer’s authorized credentials.
- Go to Services > User Services > My Applications.
- Set Application Type to Appeal to Appellate Authority.
- Enter the relevant dates in From and To Date.
- Select Search, then open or inspect the matching application record and read the status shown for that case.
The GST Portal FAQ describes this search for submitted appeals against demand orders. Use the status actually displayed on the taxpayer’s record; an appeal does not necessarily pass through every status listed in the FAQ.

What the appeal status means
The GST Portal FAQ lists statuses including Appeal Submitted, Appeal admitted, Appeal Rejected, Appeal Withdrawn, Hearing Notice Issued, Reply Submitted, Adjournment Granted, Show Cause Notice Issued and Appeal Order Passed. It also lists rectification and remand-related states. The FAQ’s wording has apparent label or order inconsistencies around rectification requests, so rely on the wording displayed for the individual case rather than inferring a sequence from the list.

The GST Portal FAQ, “Filing an Appeal against Demand Order (FORM GST APL-01),” says: “The appeal is considered filed only when the final acknowledgment (APL-02) with an appeal number is issued.” The FAQ says the taxpayer and Appellate Authority receive an email after filing, and the taxpayer also receives an SMS. When the order is uploaded, the Appellate Authority issues the final APL-02 acknowledgment; the provisional acknowledgment date is the filing date.
#1 Best Overall
If the order has not been uploaded, the FAQ says to submit a self-certified copy within seven days of filing APL-01. If the copy is submitted later, the submission date is treated as the filing date. Check for the APL-02 and appeal number before treating an application as filed.
Admission and the disputed amount
The FAQ states: “Yes, if Appeal filed is admitted, the GST Portal flags the balance disputed amount as non-recoverable.” The condition matters: this describes the portal’s treatment if the appeal is admitted, not an automatic effect of submitting an appeal.
If you mean the underlying demand, not the appeal
The My Applications route checks an appeal record. The official help documents cited here do not establish a complete, current navigation path for a separate live demand-status lookup. Do not assume that an appeal search result is itself the status of the demand order.
For a manual or offline order missing from the portal, the SPL-02 instructions describe a specific workflow: choose Manual entry and enter the order’s reference number. In that form, portal-issued orders may be selectable and their details may populate automatically; details for a manual order may need to be entered. This is guidance for the SPL-02 workflow, not a universal demand-status screen.
Online and manual orders can require different handling
| Situation | What the cited GST Portal guidance says |
|---|---|
| Portal-issued order in the SPL-02 workflow | The order may appear in a selection list, and details may auto-populate. [SPL-02 instructions] |
| Manual/offline order absent from the portal in the SPL-02 workflow | Select Manual entry and provide the reference number; details may need to be entered manually. [SPL-02 instructions] |
| Appeal based on a manual demand order | A system-generated demand order number may be needed. The known-issues guide advises contacting the jurisdictional officer about certain order-number issues. [GST Portal known-issues guide] |
The SPL-02 instructions concern that form specifically. They do not establish a general route for checking every demand’s live status.
Resolve a missing record or order-number error
- Check the order number: For an incorrect or unrecognized number, the GST Portal known-issues guide says to use the number matching the order received from the Assessment Officer.
- Ask about a manual order number: If an appeal based on a manual demand order requires a system-generated number, contact the jurisdictional officer for the applicable details.
- Find jurisdictional contacts: The guide gives the portal path Services > User Services > Contacts.
- Check the date range: When an expected appeal does not appear in My Applications, make sure the From and To Date values cover the filing date, then search again.
Filing details to verify separately
Status lookup does not determine whether an appeal was filed on time or meets the filing requirements. The GST Portal FAQ states that an aggrieved taxpayer or unregistered person may appeal within three months from communication of the decision or order, and that the Appellate Authority may condone delay by up to one additional month if satisfied that sufficient cause prevented timely filing. It also states a minimum pre-deposit of 10% of disputed tax before filing, with a qualification that a lower percentage may be declared after approval from competent authorities.
Rank #4
These are the portal FAQ’s statements, not a substitute for checking current law and the facts of a particular case. Verify the applicable deadline, pre-deposit and current rules before relying on them. The FAQ also says filing may be made through DSC or EVC and that DSC is mandatory for companies and LLPs.
Menu labels and portal procedures can change. The official GST Portal help and troubleshooting materials cited here were accessed on 2026-10-04; consult current portal guidance if the labels or workflow differ.
