2014 (12) TMI 1365 - AT - Income TaxPenalty levied u/s 271(1)(c) v/s 271AAA - search and seizure action carried out - As per revenue disclosure of the income was not made voluntarily by the assessee company and such income would not have been disclosed by the assessee in the absence of a search - Whether case comes under the purview of section 271AAA? - HELD THAT:- As per the mandate u/s 271AAA of the Act after search initiated u/s 132 on or after 1st June, 2007 but before 1st July, 2012 penalty was leviable u/s 271AAA of the Act. Sub-section (3) of 271AAA clearly provides that in such case no penalty u/s 271(1)(c) of the Act can be imposed. We agree with the ld.counsel of the assessee that no penalty u/s 271(1)(c) of the Act was leviable, in as much as the case comes under the purview of section 271AAA of the Act. There is no ambiguity in this regard, and the view is also supported by the tribunal decision in the case of Cario International
