Section 74 extended limitation under the CGST Act applies only where a tax shortfall, erroneous refund or wrongful input tax credit arose by reason of fraud, wilful misstatement or suppression of facts to evade tax. A show cause notice must plead foundational facts linking deliberate conduct to the alleged evasion; a mismatch, short payment, audit objection or mechanical use of statutory terms is insufficient. The proper officer must independently form the required satisfaction. Section 75 prevents an adjudicating order from adding grounds beyond the notice, so deficient fraud allegations cannot be cured later. Section 74 applies through Financial Year 2023-24, while Section 74A introduces a unified notice regime for later periods.
