ITAT Jaipur cancels Rs 3.99 lakh income-tax penalty
In short
ITAT Jaipur cancelled a Rs 3.99 lakh penalty against a man from Sikar. The tax department had started penalty action after he filed his income tax return.
This matters because the tribunal said the notice had technical mistakes and did not clearly name the violation under Section 270A(9). The report does not say anything about the tax demand itself.
