Issues: Whether the assessment order for assessment year 2008-09 was within limitation under the amended Section 29(4) of the Punjab Value Added Tax Act, 2005 and whether the relief granted against interest and penalty was liable to be disturbed.
Analysis: The limitation under Section 29(4), as amended, was extended from three years to six years from the date when the annual statement was filed or became due. The assessment for 2008-09 was made on 19.11.2015 and the appellate order was passed on 29.04.2016, both within the extended limitation period. The amendment was applied to the pending assessment proceedings, and the court relied upon the settled position that where a validating amendment saves an assessment retrospectively, the assessee remains liable to pay the principal tax, while interest and penalty may not survive where so held on the facts of the case.
Conclusion: The assessment was held to be within limitation, and the interference sought against the order sustaining tax liability and maintaining the relief against interest and penalty was declined.
Ratio Decidendi: Where a validating amendment retrospectively extends the period of limitation for assessment, a pending assessment completed within the extended period is not time-barred.
