The article explains that the Finance Act 2020 amendment (effective 01.04.2020) expanded the definition of "eligible assessee" in Section 144C(15)(b) to include non-resident individuals, so the petitioner (an NRI) qualified as an eligible assessee at the time of the Section 148 notice; proceedings before the Dispute Resolution Panel under Section 144C extended limitation via Section 153, and the petitioner's post hoc Section 154 rectification was treated as an afterthought.
