We find that under section 153(3) of the Act, the statutory time period for passing the order giving effect to the order passed under section 263 of the Act is 12 months from the end of the financial year in which the order under section 263 of the Act was passed.

Copy of the reasons dated 22/03/2021, recorded by the Assessing Officer for reopening the assessment under section 147 of the Act was furnished during the course of hearing. Relevant portion of the aforesaid reasons is as under: 3.2 From the perusal of the records of the assessee, it is seen that the assessee had declared short term capital loss of Rs.31,31,140/- on sale of shares, which has been claimed as current years loss eligible for being carried forward to future years for set off purposes. It was noticed from the details of capital gain that assessee had purchased 75,000 equity shares of M/s Sulabha Engg. during the month of January 2014 at a price ranging between 206.26 to 207.63 per share and these shares were sold on 16.12.2014 165.07 per share resulting in short term capital loss of Rs.31,46,502/- and after setting off profit of Rs. 15,361 arising in share transactions in the scrip of Shemaroo Entertainment; net short term capital loss of Rs.31,31,141 was claimed as eligible for being carried forward In this regard it is pointed out that the Directora .....

Therefore, this is a fit case for reopening of assessment. 12.

Since, only the validity of the order passed under section 263 of the Act is under challenge in the present case and in view of the current position of fact that no order has been passed by the Assessing Officer, pursuant to the directions issued vide impugned order, within the time limit provided under section 153(3) read along with the proviso and as extended by various n .....
