Reasonable time period is 30 days for filing reply to the Show Cause Notice

Last updated: 09 December 2023
Quick Summary
The Madhya Pradesh High Court has ruled that 30 days is the reasonable period for responding to a Show Cause Notice (SCN). In a case where an order was passed just nine days after an SCN was issued, the court found that the assessee was not given a fair opportunity to be heard. Consequently, the SCN and the subsequent order were set aside, with the Revenue Department allowed to issue a fresh, valid notice.
