Therefore, the assessment order was passed on 28.12.2021 and was beyond the control of Assessing Officer after 28.12.2021 i.e. before the limitation date. 4.1.31 In view of the above, it is clear that the communication was issued with a valid DIN and the order was beyond the control of the Assessing Officer before the limitation date.
