Reasonable opportunity of being heard prior to framing of an assessment must be provided as per Section 24(3) of the Puducherry GST Act


Quick Summary
The Madras High Court has ruled that taxpayers must be given a reasonable opportunity to be heard before any tax assessment is finalised under Section 24(3) of the Puducherry GST Act. In this case, assessment orders and attachment notices were issued prematurely, before the taxpayer's appeal period had expired. The court emphasised the importance of procedural fairness in tax proceedings.
