Clarifying time-limit: section 144C timelines govern assessment finalisation; sections 153/153B govern draft order stage.
Timelines for finalisation of assessments under section 144C govern completion of assessment notwithstanding the time limits in section 153 and section 153B. Acceptance of a draft order requires completion within one month from the end of the month in which acceptance is received or the 30 day objection period expires; where objections go to the DRP, the DRP must direct within nine months and assessment must be completed within one month from the end of the month in which directions are received. Amendments will clarify this in the 1961 Act (with retrospective dates) and in the Income-tax Act, 2025.
