Time limit for completion of assessment u/s 153A - The clause has been inserted with effect from 01.04.2021 and hence operates prospectively only, being a substantive provision. The benefit of the exclusion under that clause thus, would not be available to the revenue in the present assessments. The impugned orders of assessment passed on 28.01.2022 in respect of AYs 11-12, 12-13 and 19-20 are hence held to be barred by limitation qua these three assessment years and are set aside. The writ petitions challenging those notices, orders of assessment and penalties are allowed. - HC
