One year
Two years
Sixty days
Answer and explanation
Section 378(3) of the Income-tax Act, 2025 requires an assessee's application for revision to be made within one year from communication of the order or the date the assessee otherwise came to know of it, whichever is earlier; section 378(4) allows a delay to be condoned for sufficient cause. Two years is the limit on revising an order that is erroneous and prejudicial to the revenue under section 377, which the Competent Authority starts on its own motion.
