Though the provisions of the Income Tax Act do not provide for the issuance of a show cause notice in all cases, in matters such as the present, where the Assessing Authority has formulated a specific issue based upon his understanding of a transaction, it is incumbent upon him to reveal his mind to the assessee, in order that the assessee is put to notice of the proposed basis of assessment and can reply/respond to the same. This not having been done, the impugned orders are set aside.
