Hello, I had received demand notice from Income Tax then i came to know about the assessment has been made u/s 144 for A.Y 2011-12 the notice of which has not been received to me as my address has been changed and in absence of reply the AO made exparte order and raise demand of Rs 192670/- and imposed penalty of Rs 69000/- in 271(1)(C) and Rs 10000 u/s 271(1)(B) and Rs 5000/- u/s 271F.

Assessment u/s 144 is time barred if it is made after 2 years. vide Section 153. In case the assessment was made u/s 144 r.w.s. 147 you would have received a notice u/s 148. It seems that the later can be your case. If no notice u/s 148 was served on you, then the assessment is invalid.
