Reassessment initiated after the three-year period required approval from the higher authorities specified by section 151(2); approval recorded from a Principal Commissioner did not satisfy that statutory requirement, so the notice under section 148 and the reassessment order under section 147 read with section 144 were invalid and quashed.
