Levy of tax penalty was quashed because the penalty proceedings were founded on a legally defective, non specific show cause notice that merely alleged failure to comply with unspecified notices, preventing a proper opportunity to explain.

On these procedural fairness grounds the Tribunal held the show cause notice invalid and deleted the penalty under the applicable penalty provision.
