Show Cause Notice standards tightened to ensure only legally sustainable notices and timely, high-quality adjudication. Reinforce standards for issuance and adjudication of Show Cause Notices: SCNs must follow thorough factual and legal examination, state cogent sustainable grounds supported by law and precedent; adjudicating orders should be quality-checked, issued within prescribed timeframes, and follow judicial discipline; threshold limits for appeals must be applied scrupulously, and field-level litigation monitoring established to prevent delays and unnecessary litigation.
