Use the GST Council’s public Appellate Orders index to find listed appellate decisions, or sign in to the GST Portal to check an appeal you filed against a demand order. These are separate services: the Council index lists orders, while the portal’s “My Applications” area shows account-level information about your own appeal. Neither source establishes that every GST appellate case file or tribunal proceeding is publicly searchable.
Choose the right search route
| What you need | Use | What it provides |
|---|---|---|
| Find a publicly listed appellate order | GST Council Appellate Orders index | Filters for State/UT, applicant name and year; listed-order details and PDF downloads. |
| Check an appeal you filed against a demand order | Your GST Portal account | A date-range search in My Applications, with application statuses and available documents. |
| Search all GST appellate or tribunal case records | Coverage not established by the reviewed official pages | Do not assume either service is a complete public case-record database. |
Find a publicly listed appellate order
- Open the GST Council’s Appellate Orders page.
- Use the filters above the results table to narrow by State/UT, applicant name, and/or year.
- Compare the applicant and appeal order number and date with the brief summary in the results. Where shown, note the linked originating advance-ruling order.
- Select the row’s PDF download to open or save the full order.
The index table includes the applicant, state, appeal order number and date, a brief summary, a PDF download and, where applicable, the underlying advance-ruling order. Search with the exact company or applicant name when possible, then confirm the order number and date before relying on a result.
Track an appeal you filed against a demand order
- Sign in to the GST Portal.
- Go to Services > User Services > My Applications.
- Choose Appeal to Appellate Authority.
- Enter the relevant From and To dates, then select Search.
- Open the matching application to review its status and any documents displayed.
This is the GST Portal FAQ’s route for the question, “From where can I view submitted appeal against Demand Order?” The FAQ is titled FAQs: Filing an Appeal against Demand Order (FORM GST APL-01) and concerns account access to the filer’s submitted appeal, not a public search of other taxpayers’ cases.
Understand the status and acknowledgment
The FAQ lists statuses including Appeal Submitted, Appeal Admitted, Hearing Notice Issued, Appeal Order Passed and Appeal Order Passed-Manual. It identifies APL-02 as the final acknowledgment carrying the appeal number.

Follow the current portal instructions for the specific application and confirm the relevant requirement if your circumstances differ.
Know what these services do—and do not—cover
The GST Council index is a public catalogue of listed appellate orders, including orders of the Authority for Advance Ruling appellate bodies (AAAR). Many entries relate to an appeal from an advance ruling. A taxpayer’s appeal against a demand order is a different record and is tracked through the filer’s GST Portal account.
The official pages described here do not establish that the Council index contains every appeal from every adjudicating authority, that the GST Portal exposes other parties’ records, or that all GSTAT proceedings, orders or case files have a public search facility. For tribunal records, check the current official GSTAT service rather than inferring coverage from either of these routes.
Keep identifiers with the order
- For a public result, record the applicant name, state, appeal order number and order date.
- Save the official PDF and the linked originating advance-ruling order when the index provides it.
- For your own demand-order appeal, keep the application details, date range used, status and APL-02 acknowledgment together.
Deadline note for demand-order appeals
The GST Portal FAQ states as a general rule that an aggrieved taxpayer or unregistered person may appeal within three months of communication of the order. Appeal deadlines can have legal consequences; check the current applicable law and obtain case-specific advice rather than relying on a general FAQ statement alone.
