27 October 2011 Notice u/s 143(2) is pre-requisite for initiating scrutiny u/s 143(3)

No,Ao cannot complete assessment only by issuing notice u/s 142(1) alone.

Notice u/s 142(1) is a type of inquiry before assessment whereas notice u/s 143(2) is for scrutiny assessment.Notice u/s 142(1) can be issued even if assessee has not filed return while it is not the same u/s 143(2).
