Reasonable time limit for issuing notice u/s 201(1)/201(1A) is 4 years, as held in GE India Technology Centre and Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd. judgments. Where notice is issued beyond 4 years, it is barred by limitation u/s 201(1). In the present case, orders are beyond 4 years from the end of the financial year, hence unsustainable and quashed. The entire proceeding arose from a belated and unsustainable survey u/s 133A(2A) conducted on 09/12/2019, which is quashed. Non-resident income is clearly time-barred, while resident income transaction did not crystallize. Assessee's appeal allowed.
