Notice needs to be "served". Served means it should be actually received by assessee. Notice u/s 143(2) needs to be served to assessee within 6 months from the end of F.Y. in which return is filed otherwise notice shall be deemed to be invalid. The date of "service" of notice shall be the date when such notice is given to postal authorities for delivering it to the assessee. The position is taken by P&H High court in
