Section 75(4) imposes a statutory duty to grant a personal hearing before passing an adverse adjudication order. Where the show cause notice stated that date, time and venue for hearing were not applicable, the absence of any hearing vitiated the order; a failure to file a written reply did not remove the authority's obligation because the assessee could still have appeared, produced records and made submissions.
