Held

The Court directed an extension of time for the petitioner to file a reply to the SCN. The revenue authority will proceed according to law upon receiving the reply, otherwise, the SCN will be treated as unreplied.

Facts

The petitioner received a demand-cum-show cause notice (SCN) under Section 74 of the CGST Act, 2017, based on an audit report. The petitioner argued that the matter was for reconciliation and that no fraud or wilful misstatement occurred, and has since filed GSTR-9C. The petitioner had not filed a reply to the SCN.

Key Issues

Whether the SCN issued under Section 74 was premature without allowing for reconciliation, and if the petitioner should be granted an opportunity to reply to the SCN.
