Assessment u/s 144C(13) - Time limit for completion of assessments and reassessments - Sub-section (13) to Section 144C, in my view, imposes a restriction on the Assessing Officer and denies him the benefit of the more expansive time limit available under Section 153 to pass a final order of assessment as he has to do so within one month from the end of the month when the directions of the DRP are received by him, even without hearing the assessee concerned. - the impugned notices issued by the DRP after a period of four years from the date of order of the Tribunal would be barred by limitation - HC
