    <title>Mandatory three-month reply period under Section 73(2) read with 73(10) CGST Act invalidates improperly served SCN; orders quashed</title>
    <link>https://www.taxtmi.com/highlights?id=93876</link>
    <description>HC held that the statutory three-month period prescribed by Section 73(2), read with Section 73(10) of the CGST Act, is mandatory and affords the minimum time for an assessee to reply to a show cause notice. The revenue&#039;s plea that a technical glitch caused reissuance of DRC-01 on 12 Aug 2024 does not cure defective service of the SCN dated 31 May 2024; the SCN was not served within the statutory period and was sent to an incorrect address despite the petitioner&#039;s address amendment on 15 May 2024. Consequently the SCN of 28/31 May 2024 and all consequential orders are quashed and the petition is allowed.</description>
