Demand: Business Auxiliary Service: Space in airlines for bulk booking: Margin of profit: No effort has been taken to ascertain whether the said amount was a consideration, whether the airline was a client and whether any marketing had indeed been undertaken. A sunnise has been followed by an even more bizarre justification of the brevity. And, in the pursuit of that brevity, a passing reference has been made to a show cause notice that has been adjudicated in a different corner of the country at some time in the past, which, purportedly, is sufficient elaboration of the present allegation against the assessee: Lack of diligence: There is probably no other more illustrative example of lack of diligence in establishing a charge against a noticee and of utter disregard for the principles of natural justice - issue of a notice which is deafeningly silent on the grounds for arriving at the allegation of evasion of tax. |
