Time limit to issue notice- One of the major differences between the new and old regime is the time limit of issue of notice, under the earlier regime the time limit for issue of notice was 4 years from the end of the relevant assessment year however in certain circumstances it was 6 and 16 years.

Memorandum Explaining the Finance Bill, 2021 makes it amply clear that such changes are killing two birds with one stone viz. 1. Less Litigations and 2. Ease of Doing business for the taxpayers.
Re-opening of the assessment proceeding was conducted on the basis of legally valid sanction accorded by the authority under provisions of Section 151 and the same was justified as it had been initiated on the basis of the material which had given rise to reason to believe as well as escapement of assessment had been quantified by AO.
