Show-cause notice safeguards require consignees to answer alleged GST discrepancies before tax-evasion determinations are made.
Case-Laws
GST
Consignees of detained goods must receive a show-cause notice and a meaningful opportunity to respond before alleged undervaluation, underweight declaration or tax evasion is determined. Where the consignee can produce documents addressing the alleged discrepancies, fresh proceedings should permit a written reply and supporting material before a decision under applicable GST enactments and rules. The allegations remain open for determination through renewed notice and adjudication, rather than being conclusively decided without hearing the consignee.
