RELEVANT PARAGRAPH

10. A plain reading of section 154 quoted above reveals that the Assessing Officer has to pass an order amending the assessment within the period of limitation as provided under sub-section (7) . Sub-section (3) of section 154 quoted above makes it obligatory upon the Assessing Officer to give a notice to the assessee and afford reasonable opportunity of being heard if the proposed amendment has the effect of enhancing an assessment or reducing a refund. In this case there is no dispute that the Assessing Officer had issued a notice to the assessee and subsequently the assessee had also given consent to the rectification. Sub-section (4) of section 154 makes it obligatory upon the Assessing Officer to pass an order in writing. Sub-section (6) of section 154 provides that where any amendment has the effect of enhancing the assessment or reducing a refund, the Assessing Officer shall serve a notice of demand in the prescribed form and that such notice shall be deemed to be issued under section 156 and the provisions of the Act shall apply accordingly. Sub-section (7) of section 154 provides for limitation upon the power of the Assessing officer to make an amendment after the expiry of four years from the end of the financial year in which the order sought to be amended was passed. Sub-section (7) of section 154, which provides for limitation, speaks of amendment under that section but does not refer to the notice of demand, which is deemed to be a notice under section 156. It will be useful to compare the provisions of section 154 with section 143(3). Section 143(3) reads as under: –

    Dear Sir
    we have been served demand notice u/s 201(1)/201(1A), however on the scrutiny of
    data it has been found that IT Dept has given credit to our old TAN , which is
    not being used at all. Even after filing reply along with relevant supportings the IT Dept has sent us a demand notice. Please let me know , the options available and so that the Dept.reverse the order.

    Regards

    Rakesh Sinha
