Section 74(5) of the GST law read with Rule 142(1A) confers a statutory pre-show-cause opportunity to settle the proposed demand by paying tax, interest and reduced penalty, and the Rule must be read consistently with that right.

As the petitioner raised that plea, the adjudication was to stand satisfied on payment within the time granted.
