A perusal of the impugned order passed by the Commissioner specifies that what was pending consideration before him was the application filed by the respondent for renewal of exemption certificate issued under section 80(G) of the Income Tax Act. The order passed by the Commissioner further specifies that a notice was issued to the respondent as to why the renewal application cannot be rejected. No notice was issued by the Commissioner to the respondent calling upon them to show cause with regard to violation committed by them to cancel the exemption certificate granted under section 80(G). In the absence of any such notice, the Commissioner committed an illegality in cancelling the exemption certificate granted in favour of the respondent.
