Clubbing of tax periods in a single Section 74 show cause notice is impermissible because the CGST statutory scheme treats each financial year as a distinct tax period with separate limitation and procedural rights; aggregating years conflates distinct limitation dates and denies year wise rights, and allegations of fraudulent input tax credit do not authorise consolidation.
