Notwithstanding anything contained in Sections 21 and 32 where an assessment, re-assessment, rectification in or revision of an assessment is made in respect of a dealer or any person, in pursuance or in consequence of or to give effect to any finding or direction contained in an order under Sections 31, 32, 33, 34 and 35 or in an order of any court in a proceeding, otherwise than by way of appeal or revision such assessment, re-assessment, rectification in or revision, of an assessment shall be made within three years from the date of receipt of such order by the prescribed or revising authority as the case may be:

Provided that if such appeal, order or order of any court has been subjected to further appeal, either partially or entirely, and if there are orders of stay prohibiting the authority concerned to pass consequential orders, the period of three years shall get extended by the period during which such stay orders were in force:

Provided further that if the subsequent appeal results in modification of such appeal, order or order of any court which is subjected to further appeal, either partially or wholly, the period of three years shall be computed from the date of receipt of subsequent order of appeal but not from the date of receipt of the original appeal, order or order of any court which was subjected to further appeal.
