The first proviso to the limitation provision in section 149(1) restricts retrospective application of the post-2021 ten-year reopening window; for assessment years beginning on or before 1 April 2021 a reopening notice under section 148 is valid only if the pre-2021 (six-year) limitation continued to apply.
