Time sought by an assessee through adjournments in proceedings under section 148A(b), including extended time, must be excluded while computing limitation under the fifth and sixth provisos to section 149. Where no reply is ultimately filed and a further adjournment request is rejected, the rejection date is treated as the deemed date of reply.

The limitation challenge was rejected and the reassessment proceedings were sustained.
