2015 (12) TMI 1821 - AT - Income TaxPenalty u/s 271AAA - present assessee covered u/s 132 OR 133A - HELD THAT:- There is no dispute on the fact that the assessee offered the disclosed income and paid taxes. That issue on quantum reached the finality. When comes to the penalty proceedings, the AO erroneously initiated the penalty proceedings u/s 271AAA of the Act when the present assessee is not covered u/s 132 of the Act. He is covered only u/s 133A of the Act. Section 271AAA is not relevant for initiating such proceedings legally. Further, on perusal of the order of the CIT (A), we find paras 6.1 to 6.3 are relevant in this regard. CIT (A) has rightly adjudicated the issue as per the provisions of the Act and in accordance with law. Therefore, in our view, the decision taken by the CIT (A) is fair and reasonable and it does not call for any interference. Accordingly, grounds raised by the Revenue are dismissed.
