A show cause notice must disclose the material relied on and link you to the alleged wrongdoing, especially in fraud cases. You can ask for that material and say that cancellation alone is not enough.

Sec 74A, CGST Act 2017; Sec 75(4), CGST Act 2017; Sec 155, CGST Act 2017

Analysis

Write first asking for copies of the investigation report, statements and data relied on. Then reply on facts with your evidence. The Punjab and Haryana High Court in Shaurya Alloys (1 October 2026, as reported) said denial cannot be mechanical and the notice must show material linking the buyer. Check whether that ruling has been appealed before relying heavily on it.
