Reasoned tax notices and access to defence documents are essential; defective input tax credit proceedings require fresh adjudication.
Case-Laws

Show-cause notices for alleged wrongful input tax credit under section 74 must state the specific reasons for the proposed tax action; merely reproducing the statutory provision is insufficient. Relevant documents requested for defence must also be supplied so that the noticee can participate effectively in the proceedings. A foundationally defective notice cannot be cured at appellate or revisional stages. On these principles, the defective notice, consequential recovery order and bank-account attachment were quashed, with liberty to issue a fresh reasoned notice and decide the matter afresh in accordance with law.
