Reopening of assessment was held time-barred where a section 148 notice was issued after the pre-amendment six-year limitation, because the first proviso to section 149(1) operates as a substantive restriction preventing issuance of notices for assessment years to which the old regime's period had expired; therefore the reassessment under section 147 read with remedial provisions could not stand.
