Fair and effective opportunity of hearing in faceless reassessment requires communications to reach the assessee through its notified or registered contact details. The High Court noted that the assessee had provided an email address in its return and had another registered on the income-tax portal and MCA database, but subsequent notices were sent only to a resigned auditor's email address.
