Signed approval by the prescribed authority is a jurisdictional precondition to issuing a reassessment notice and safeguards against arbitrary reopening. The approving authority must record satisfaction, after considering the recorded reasons and supporting material, through a manual or digital signature. A DIN, electronic transmission, or printed officer name and designation may establish authenticity but cannot replace the required signature. A curative provision introduced after the relevant approval cannot validate the defect. An unsigned approval therefore cannot confer reassessment jurisdiction, rendering consequential reassessment action unsustainable.
