Section 271(1)(c)Section 274

notice was in preprinted performa. The irrelevant clauses in the notice were not struck off; hence, the notice mentioned both limbs of section 271(1)(c) of the Act i.e. “concealed the particulars of income or furnished inaccurate particulars of such income”. Non-striking off irrelevant clause in the penalty ... assessee, the same is at page 79 of the paper book.
