The dominant issue was whether the time-limit for a final assessment order under section 143(3) read with sections 144C(13) and 144B must be computed under section 153(1) read with section 153(4), or under section 144C(13). The Tribunal held that statutory limitation is governed by section 153(1) read with section 153(4), applying consistency with its earlier view, and computed the deadline as 31.12.2020.
