Time limit for notice u/s 142(1)

Hello Manish,

After the plain reading of these Sections we can say that for the puprpose of Scrutiny AO first issues a notice U/s 143(2) with in 6 months from the end of the financial year in which the return is furnished and then for obtainnig further information he issues notice u/s 142(1)(ii) for which no time limit is given. So, the notices given to u are completely valid.

Hello Saurabh ji,

as you said when AO first issues a notice U/s 143(2) with in 6 months from the end of the financial year then
 the notices given to u are completely valid.

But one thing let me clear when no notice u/s 143 (2) issued (as Mr. Manish said he received 143 (1)) then can above notice u/s 142 (1) considered as valid??
