Dear Sir, Suppose return for the AY 2011-12 filed on 25-03-2012. Whether the department still can issue notice u/s 143(2), even after passing of 30-09-2012.

According to the section 143(2) an assessing office can issue notice under section 143(2) upto the six months from the end of the financial year in which the return is furnished. So in your case you file return in the financial year 11-12 so according to the above provision an AO can issue notice under section 143(2) upto 30-9-2012 only.

Then it is valid, Because section clear the "AO can issue with in six months from the end of return filed financial year" but not considers receipt by Assessee.
