Recomputation of assessments tied to triggering events allows targeted amendments within specified limitation periods.
Clause 288 permits an Assessing Officer to amend or recompute completed assessments in a limited set of scenarios triggered by downstream events-such as reassessment or recomputation orders, valuation or compensation revisions, patent revocation, settlement of foreign tax disputes, or validated transfer pricing determinations-with timelines generally governed by a four year limitation reckoned from the end of the relevant financial year or specified event, and subject to procedural safeguards and cross references to amendment and limitation provisions.
