2011 (1) TMI 1263 - ALLAHABAD HIGH COURTWhether the Tribunal failed to look into sub-section (3) of section 21 of the Act which provides that if the notice is served within the period provided under sub-section (2) of section 21 of the Act the assessment order may be made within six months after expiration of such period? Held that:- Section 21(2) of the Act says that except as otherwise provided in this section, no order of assessment or reassessment be passed after the expiry of two years from the end of such assessment year and further the proviso provided that the Commissioner may authorise the assessing authority to make such assessment or reassessment after the expiration of two years but not after the expiration of six years from the end of such year. Therefore, sub-section (2) provides limitation for eight years for passing the order. Sub-section (2) is subject to the other provision of the section. It is subject to sub-section (3) which provides that if the notice is served within the period specified in sub-section (2) the assessment may be made within six months after the expiration of such period. In this way sub-section (3) extends six months further period for passing the order. In view of the above, the order of the Tribunal is erroneous and liable to be set aside. Thus, the Tribunal is required to decide the appeal on the merits. Revision allowed.
