What did the Tribunal hold?

The Tribunal held that while Explanation 5A to Section 271(1)(c) applies to searches conducted after June 1, 2007, Section 271AAA(3) prohibits the imposition of penalty under Section 271(1)(c) for undisclosed income covered by Section 271AAA(1). Therefore, the penalty was wrongly imposed.
