Demand Order containing the details of the official and the Department is valid, even in the absence of signature


Quick Summary
The Delhi High Court has ruled that an Order-in-Original (OIO) is valid even if it lacks the official's signature, provided it includes the officer's name, designation, and ward details, often via Form GST DRC-07. The court also emphasised that any rectification application filed by a petitioner must not be rejected without offering a personal hearing, upholding principles of natural justice.
