Personal Hearing - By Law, Not Discretion


Adjudication in GST has become a farce

In a catena of cases, the High Courts are quashing the arbitrary adjudication orders passed without granting a personal hearing to the taxpayer. Yet, the officers do not mend their ways.
Refusal to grant personal hearing is more endemic with the State GST authorities. Even if the PH is granted, the adjudicating authority does not record the submissions made during the hearing, and a copy is not given to the taxpayer. So, the taxpayer is compelled to file written submissions online. Until and unless this malady in GSt adjudication is remedied, there will be no fair play and justice to the taxpayers.
