Reassessment validity depends on distinct safeguards governing notice, limitation and approvals. Under section 149(1)(b), extended limitation may apply where books, documents or evidence reveal qualifying escaped income represented as an asset, relevant expenditure, or entries in books of account; these are alternative statutory categories. Digital and handwritten cash-book records may constitute books of account when supported by possession, control, corroboration and taxpayer nexus. Section 151 sanction requires genuine consideration of the reopening proposal and material, but need not contain elaborate reasons. Approval for a section 143(2) notice must precede its issuance, and contemporaneous electronic communication may establish timing despite a later postal receipt. Section 148B approval for the assessment order remains distinct from notice-stage and scrutiny-notice approvals.
