Sanction for reassessment beyond three years must be granted by the authority specified in section 151(ii) as it stood prior to the 01.04.2023 amendment; approval by a Principal Commissioner not so empowered rendered the sanction invalid.

The Tribunal therefore did not address the substantive additions.
