A company has filed its return for P.Y. 2007-08 on 25th Sep 2008 & revised the same on 12th Oct 2008.
Now, the AO has issued notice u/s 143(2) dtd. 19th Jan 2010, for scrutiny assessment.
With regard to the amendment in the section w.e.f 01.04.2008, can the AO issue notice after 30.09.2009 (6 months from the end of financial year in which the return of income is filed)?

The quoted amendment is for assessment year 2008-09 and onwards. Therefore, the law prevailing for assessment year 2007-08 has to be necessarily followed to issue the notice. Thus,as per my understanding, AO has issued a valid notice.
