Prior approval of the specified authority is a condition precedent for issuance of notice under section 148, and where more than three years have elapsed from the end of the relevant assessment year, the approval must come from the authority prescribed under section 151(ii). As the approval for the section 148A(d) order was obtained from the Principal Commissioner instead of the competent authority, the reassessment initiation was jurisdictionally defective.
