Assessee should respond to the SCN and take all grounds before the authority, and if aggrieved, should avail an alternate statutory remedy of appeal

Last updated: 21 October 2024
Quick Summary
The Bombay High Court has dismissed a writ petition, reinforcing the principle that assessees must first respond to Show Cause Notices (SCNs) and present all their arguments to the relevant authority. The court found the SCN in this case was not vague and that the petitioner had not raised genuine concerns about it initially. If an assessee is aggrieved by the authority's decision, they should then pursue the statutory appeal process rather than immediately filing a writ petition.
