See, If the Proper Officer issues an SCN under section 73/74 on an issue/observation for a particular FY, the same issue/observation for that particular FY cannot be raised again by any authority including Audit. Section 6(2b) while giving cross-empowerment, restricts the GST officer from not initiating the proceeding under this Act on the same subject matter.
