Failure to grant the statutory personal hearing under Section 75(4) vitiated the proceedings, because a taxpayer's statement in Form GST DRC-06 that no hearing was required could not override the statutory mandate. Once the authority did not accept the reply, it was bound to afford the prescribed hearing opportunity and could not decide the matter on the first date fixed for hearing.
