Under the new reassessment regime, where the AO's own determination showed alleged escaped income below the prescribed threshold, a notice under section 148 could not be issued after three years from the end of the relevant assessment year. The Tribunal also held that prior approval under section 151 is a jurisdictional precondition and must be obtained from the authority prescribed for the applicable time limit.
