Assessment of escaped tax

If for any person, any person has not been assessed or has under-assessed for any financial year the assessing authority may, notwithstanding anything contained in sub-section (2) of section 8, at any time within three years of the end of that year, serve on the person liable to pay the tax, a notice containing all or any of the requirements which may be included in a notice under sub-section (2) of section 8 and may proceed to assess or reassess him and the provisions of this Act, shall, so far as may be apply accordingly as if the notice were a notice issued under that sub-section: Provided that the tax shall be charged at the rate at which he would have been charged if the person would not have escaped assessment, or full assessment as the case may be.
