The ITAT examined penalty proceedings u/s 271D regarding alleged cash receipt of property sale consideration. The tribunal found AO and CIT(A)'s presumption of cash payment without explicit documentary evidence was incorrect. The appellate tribunal set aside the penalty order and restored the matter to AO for further investigation to definitively ascertain whether sale consideration was received in cash, contravening sec.269SS. The assessee's appeal was allowed for statistical purposes, requiring the AO to conduct a comprehensive re-examination of the mode of payment and potential statutory violations.
