CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE NITIN WASUDEO SAMBRE HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE AJAY DIGPAUL O R D E R % 27.04.2026 1. Learned counsel appearing for the respondent nos.1 and 2, in response to the claim made in the petition, has received a written instruction, which reads thus:- “Pre-deposit Percentage in the GST Portal. Apr. 10th, 2026 While filing an appeal in Form APL-01 on the GST portal, the pre-deposit percentage is auto-populated as 10% in accordance with Section 107(6) of the CGST Act, 2017 and was previously non-editable. Due to this restriction, taxpayers faced difficulties in cases where the pre-deposit had already been made through other means or where the demand amount was incorrectly reflected under the appropriate head.

This allows taxpayers to modify the pre-deposit percentage as applicable to their specific case and calculate and pay the required amount accordingly while submitting the appeal. The appellate authority will subsequently verify the correctness of the pre-deposit amount and the made of payment during the adjudication of the appeal. Thanks, Team GSTN.” 2. In the wake of above, no further issue falls for adjudication and the writ petition stands disposed of accordingly. 3. Pending application also stands disposed of.
