Issues: Whether the notice issued under section 148 for the relevant assessment year was barred by limitation and whether the consequent reassessment was invalid.
Analysis: The notice under section 148 was issued on 28.04.2022 for assessment year 2015-16. The applicable limitation under section 149(1)(b) required issuance within six years from the end of the assessment year, that is, on or before 31.03.2022. Since the notice was issued after the expiry of that period, it was time-barred. Once the notice itself was invalid, the reassessment proceedings founded on it could not survive.
Conclusion: The notice under section 148 was barred by limitation and the consequent reassessment order was invalid. The appeal was therefore allowed in favour of the assessee.
