Common portal notice after GST registration cancellation was insufficient; physical service and hearing were required before adjudication could procee...
The High Court quashed the order cancelling the petitioner's GST registration retrospectively from July 2, 2017. The cancellation was held to be effective from January 15, 2023, the date of issuance of the show cause notice. The court found that the absence of reasons in the show cause notice for retrospective cancellation rendered the impugned order unsustainable. The allegation of failure to furnish returns for a continuous period of six months u/s 39 of the GST Act formed the basis for the cancellation proceedings.
