Dear Ankit,

Since u asked "Can AO call............ "

Answer - Yes, he has that power, since the provision no where specified the condition of due date...

But appreciate the practical part  - had u asked "Will AO call........"

Answer - No, except in exceptional circumstances....

Further acts of AO's are generally guided by the CBDT instructions so that AO's dont misuse their powers.......
