Under Maharashtra VAT (Value Added Tax), the time limit for assessment for the financial year 2011-12 is governed by Section 26 of the Maharashtra Value Added Tax Act, 2002. Here are the relevant provisions:
1. **Normal Assessment Period:**
- The normal time limit for assessment under Maharashtra VAT is **six years** from the end of the year to which the tax relates. Therefore, for the financial year 2011-12 (which ended on 31st March 2012), the assessment time limit would generally be until **31st March 2018**.
2. **Extended Assessment Period:**
- In cases where the Commissioner of Sales Tax is of the opinion that the turnover of a dealer has escaped assessment or has been under-assessed or has been assessed at a lower rate, the Commissioner may serve a notice for reassessment within **eight years** from the end of the year to which the tax relates. This extended period applies if there is reason to believe that tax has been evaded or escaped assessment.
### Conclusion:
- For the financial year 2011-12 under Maharashtra VAT, the normal assessment period is **six years** from the end of the relevant financial year, which would typically mean until **31st March 2018**.
- However, in certain cases where there is reason to believe tax evasion or under-assessment, the assessment period can be extended to **eight years** from the end of the relevant financial year.
It's crucial to note that these timelines are subject to the specific circumstances of each case and any notifications or amendments made to the VAT Act over time. For precise advice regarding a particular assessment or case, consulting with a tax professional or legal advisor familiar with Maharashtra VAT laws would be advisable.
