https://www.taxtmi.com/highlights?id=92287 HC quashed the impugned assessment order dated 17.08.2024 insofar as it denied the petitioner's claim for input tax credit under Section 16(4) of the CGST Act as time-barred, holding the order was passed without affording an effective opportunity of personal hearing. The court found mere upload of a show-cause notice on the GST portal, without exploring alternative modes of service under Section 169 where no response was received, amounted to defective service and a breach of natural justice. The HC disposed of the petition, setting aside the impugned order to the extent indicated and warning against sustaining ex parte assessments founded on empty formalities. en-us Sat, 06 Sep 2025 08:16:25 +0530 Sat, 06 Sep 2025 08:16:27 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/highlights?id=92287 HC quashed the impugned assessment order dated 17.08.2024 insofar as it denied the petitioner's claim for input tax credit under Section 16(4) of the CGST Act as time-barred, holding the order was passed without affording an effective opportunity of personal hearing.
