Effective GST notice service requires meaningful delivery, with defective portal-only notice leading to fresh adjudication after hearing.
Case-Laws
GST
Effective service of GST notices requires more than uploading statutory notices and hearing intimations under an additional-notices portal tab when the taxpayer receives no physical service through RPAD. SMS and email reminders do not cure the resulting lack of a meaningful opportunity to file explanations and supporting records, which breaches principles of natural justice. GST adjudication and the consequential Form GST DRC-07 may therefore be set aside for fresh consideration, subject to a 10% deposit of disputed tax. The taxpayer must be allowed to submit objections and documents, followed by a clear 14-day personal-hearing notice and a merits-based order.
