Return filed U/s 139(1)can be revised and revised return to be filed before the expiry of one year from the end of relevant assessment year as per U/s 139(4). Therefore, AY 2011-12 , due date was 30.9.2011 and revise return can be filed till 31.3.2013. Notice can be issued U/s 143(2)before the expiry of six months ie 30.9.2013 and it is to be served on the assessee. If Notice is not served by 30.9.2013 then that notice is bad in law and revised return will be considered as a final. Therefore, in above case, assessee very well can file appeal with CIT(A) treating this notice as a bad in law.
