Income Tax v. Ram Commercial Enterprises Ltd., 246 ITR 568 and Diwan Enterprises v. Commissioner of Income Tax

246 ITR 571High Court2000#2184 most cited

What is Income Tax v. Ram Commercial Enterprises Ltd., 246 ITR 568 and Diwan Enterprises v. Commissioner of Income Tax authority for?

Penalty proceedings under the Income-tax Act are quasi-criminal in nature, requiring the department to independently establish concealment and not automatically relying on assessment findings. A penalty under Section 271D or 271E for violating Section 269SS cannot be levied if the alleged loan amount is subsequently disclosed as income, as the foundation for the penalty is then lost.
