Order and SCN are liable to be set aside when reply and documents filed by the Assessee with the Auditor are not taken into consideration


Quick Summary
The Delhi High Court has ruled that tax orders and show cause notices (SCNs) can be invalidated if the auditor fails to consider the taxpayer's submitted replies and supporting documents. In a case involving Samsung India Private Limited, the court found the Impugned Order unsustainable because the proper officer did not properly review the detailed response and evidence provided by the petitioner. The court emphasised that if further information was needed, it should have been explicitly requested from the assessee.
