Reopening beyond three years under section 149(1)(b) requires the escaped income to be represented in the form prescribed by law; mere reference to unrecorded scrap-sale receipts and an estimated profit basis was insufficient, so the reassessment for AYs 2019-20 and 2020-21 was quashed. Ambiguous section 148 notices that inconsistently stated the search basis showed non-application of mind, rendering the notices and reassessments for AYs 2021-22 and 2022-23 invalid.
