Despite the court's earlier order to keep the notice in abeyance and complete the consultation by 18.04.2024, the department scheduled a hearing on 23.04.2024 without passing any order. Consequently, the court set aside the notice, allowing the department to initiate proceedings after conducting proper pre-notice consultation within the limitation period. en-us Sat, 06 Jul 2024 07:50:29 +0530 Sat, 06 Jul 2024 07:50:29 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/highlights?id=79160 The High Court quashed the impugned show cause notice for service tax demand exceeding Rs. 50,00,000/- due to the department's failure to conduct mandatory pre-notice consultation as per the Master Circular dated 10.03.2017.
