Demand Notices and Show Cause Proceedings — Analysed. Replied. Defended.

Handling of show cause notices and demand proceedings for businesses in Nashik and Maharashtra, from limitation and quantification review through to reply and hearing.

Book Free Consultation

A show cause notice sets the boundaries of everything that follows. The period, the grounds and the amount stated in it define what can ultimately be confirmed, which is why the reply deserves more attention than the order.

At N D Savla & Associates, we handle demand proceedings for businesses across Nashik and Maharashtra — testing limitation, verifying the quantification, drafting the reply and appearing at the personal hearing.

The first questions are always structural: is the notice within time, is it issued under the right provision, and does the quantification hold up. Those points are frequently stronger than the merits, and they have to be taken in the reply to survive.

Frequently Asked Questions

It is a notice calling upon a person to show why the tax stated as not paid, short paid, erroneously refunded or wrongly availed as credit, along with interest and penalty, should not be recovered.
The Act distinguishes between cases not involving fraud or wilful misstatement and those that do, with different limitation periods and different penalty consequences.
Notices must be issued within the limitation period applicable to the provision invoked, computed with reference to the due date for the annual return or the date of the erroneous refund.
Payment of the tax with interest before issue of the notice, and intimation of that payment, can limit or avoid the penalty consequences as provided in the Act.
An opportunity of hearing is to be granted where a request is made in writing or where an adverse decision is contemplated against the person.
The time allowed is stated in the notice, and an extension may be sought from the adjudicating authority where more time is genuinely required.
