A show cause notice for cancellation of GST registration must disclose the precise default so the registrant can mount an effective reply. Here, the notice only referred to non-filing of returns for six months without identifying the relevant period, and the cancellation order failed to give specific reasons, making it a non-speaking order contrary to Rule 22(3), Form GST REG-19, and natural justice.

The cancellation order was quashed, and the matter was remitted to the notice stage for fresh consideration.
