Income Tax Department can send a notice up to 6 years after the financial year ends (or 5 years from the end of Assessment Year).
Example: FY 2025–26 → notice possible till 31-03-2032 (or 30-06-2032).

The statement as written is incorrect and oversimplified.
Under the current law (post-Finance Act, 2021), the normal time limit is 3 years from the end of the relevant Assessment Year, and up to 10 years only in specified high-value cases.
The “6 years” rule applied only to earlier years under the old law.
