Income Tax Appellate Tribunal, DELHI BENCHES “SMC” : DELHI
Before: SHRI BHAVNESH SAINI
Date of Hearing : 12.07.2018 Date of Pronouncement : 12.07.2018 ORDER
This appeal by assessee has been directed against the Order of the Ld. CIT(A)-30, New Delhi, dated 21.11.2017, for the A.Y. 2006-2007, challenging the levy of penalty under section 271(1)(c) of the I.T. Act, 1961, in a sum of Rs.3,619/-.
I have heard the learned Representatives of both the parties and perused the material on record.
2 ITA.No.289/Del./2018 GAG Construction Pvt. Ltd., New Delhi.
Learned Counsel for the Assessee filed copy of the show cause notice issued by A.O. before levy of the penalty under section 274 r.w.s. 271 of the I.T. Act, dated 24.12.2010 in which the A.O. has mentioned as under :
“have concealed the particulars of your income or furnished inaccurate particulars of such income or have concealed the particulars of the fringe benefits or furnished inaccurate particulars of such fringe benefits.”
3.1. The aforesaid show cause notice is invalid and bad in law because the same did not specify for which limb of Section 271(1)(c) of the Act, the penalty proceedings had been initiated i.e., whether for concealment of particulars of income or furnishing inaccurate particulars of income. It would, therefore, vitiate the entire penalty proceedings. I rely upon the decision of Hon’ble Karnataka High Court in the case of CIT vs. M/s.
