That on the facts and circumstances of the case and in law, the impugned penalty order passed by the assessing officer is passed without complying with the principles of natural justice. 3. That the penalty levied under section 271(1)(c) of the Act is void and illegal inasmuch as the assessing officer failed to record valid satisfaction in the assessment order and failed to specify specific charge in the show cause notice for levying the penalty. 4.

As per law, benefit of only explained income or income on which tax has been paid (including exempt income) can be given against unexplained house-hold income, which the AO has partly given. If the unexplained credits in bank accounts, which are not utilized towards house-hold expenditure and used somewhere else, then a separate addition was required for those unexplained credits. 10. The facts and circumstances are identical in other two assessment years. In our opinion, the Ld. CIT(A) has not appreciated all the evidences furnished by the assessee and therefore, we feel it appropriate to set aside the order of the learned CIT(A) and restore the issue in dispute involved in all the three assessment years to the file of the Assessing Officer with the direction to the assessee to file necessary evidence in support of source of household expenditure declared in the .....
