IN a recent case, the Delhi High Court observed, "Repeated issue of demand-cum-show cause notice for the same period, leads to inconvenience and in some cases harassment of assessee as for the same period they have to engage professionals and furnish accounts, documents etc. all over again. It also duplicates the work of the officers. The CBEC will examine the said aspect. If required and necessary, appropriate directions or orders may be issued to ensure that repeated show cause notices are only issued when circumstances justify and are permitted under the law".
Will the CBEC take action?
