There can be no rectification made for the said assessment year for the limitation having expired. Further, even in the subject assessment years, the limitation under Section 154 has expired. The notice as seen from the appeals and the rectification order was first issued on 04.12.1995. The four year period from the end of the assessment years of 1987-88, 1989-90 and 1990-91 stands expired respectively on 31.03.1992, 31.03.1994 and 31.03.1995. All the proceedings were initiated beyond the four year period. In such circumstances, we refuse to answer the question regarding the change of opinion. We also uphold the order of the Tribunal setting aside the rectification under Section 154 for the subject assessment years. I.T.Appeals are rejected.
