You may refer to Section 79 (Recovery of tax) of the CGST Act, 2017.

Sir, garnishee award refers to an order passed by Govt on any person who is likely to pay any amount to the taxpayer directing him to deposit the sum into govt account instead of paying it to the default taxpayer. It is allowed in law to safeguard the revenue of the govt.

Recovery cannot be initiated without finalisation of demand. Merely because some investigation is going on or a SCN is issued, recovery cannot be initiated.

However, if it is confirmed demand then recoevery can happen as per provisions of the law.
