Where an assessment order was passed without affording a personal hearing and service was effected solely by portal upload, the article emphasises that an issuing officer must assess the effectiveness of service and, if portal notices elicit no response, explore other statutory modes of service (preferably registered post acknowledgement) before proceeding.
