Your appellant submits that the Assessing Office has not recorded "Satisfaction of Concealment" before issuing show cause notice and if recorded copy of such satisfaction so recorded was not given to the Appellant though asked for and thereby resulting in levy of penalty not valid. 3. The notice of penalty issued by Assessing Officer u/s. 271(1)(c) was vague, capable of two views and not clear as to whether the "penalty was intiated for concealment of income" or "for furnishing inaccurate particulars of such income" and therefore levy of penalty is not valid. II. On Merits:- 1. On the facts and circumstances of the case, the Learned CIT(A) has grossly erred in confirming the penalty imposed by applying for furni .....

..... such estimated disallowance, penalty is not justified. In support of this contention, he placed reliance on the Tribunal order rendered in the case of M/s.Rolex Tin Works Vs.

In that case, the Tribunal sustained the penalty pertaining to inflation of purchase of total amount of such proforma invoices amounting to Rs. 1,11,193/-. Whereas, in the present case, although .....
