Rifaur Rahman, Accountant Member ITA Nos. 447 to 452/Hyd/2019 A.Ys: 2011-12, 2012-13, 2013-14, 2014-15, 2015-16 and 2016-17 The Karimnagar District Director of Income Tax Co-operative Central Bank Vs (I & CI) Limited 4th floor, Aayakar bhavan 2-6-76, Market road Basheerbagh Opp. One Town Police Station Hyderabad Karimnagar PAN: AABAT0905H (Appellant) (Respondent) For Assessee : Shri A.V.

Date of Hearing: 06/08/2019 Date of Pronouncement: 09/08/2019 O R D E R PER P.MADHAVI DEVI, J.M. All these appeals are filed by assessee for A.Ys. 2011- 12 to 2016-17 against the order dated 30.01.2019 of the CIT(A)-2, Hyderabad holding that the appeals against the penalty order u/s 271FA are not maintainable as no appeal lies against such order u/s 246A of the I.T. Act. 2. However, Ld.Counsel for the assessee has referred to Sub-Clause ‘Q’ of Sec.246A of the I.T. Act which provides for an appeal against the order imposing penalty under Chapter XXI of the I.T. Act.
ITA Nos. 447 to 452/Hyd/19 AYs: 2011-12 to 2016-17 The Karimnagar District Cooperative Central Bank Ltd., Karimnagar 3. We find that the penalty u/s 271FA of the Act is a penalty imposed under Chapter XXI of the I.T. Act. Therefore, it is clearly appealable order and the CIT(A) is incorrect in holding that no appeal lies against the order u/s 271FA. 4. In the result, we set aside the matter to the file of CIT(A) for re-adjudication on merits. 5. In the result, all the appeals of the assessee are treated as ‘allowed for statistical purposes’. Order pronounced in the Open Court on 09th August, 2019. Sd/- Sd/- (S.Rifaur Rahman) (P. Madhavi Devi) Accountant Member Judicial Member Dated: 09th August, 2019. *Gmv Copy to: 1.
