Budget 2016: Existing provision of clause (c) of sub-section (1) of section 271AAB provides that in a case not covered under the provisions of clauses (a) and (b) of the said sub-section of section 271 AAB, a penalty of a sum which shall not be less than thirty per cent but which shall not exceed ninety per cent of the undisclosed income of the specified previous year shall be levied in case where search has been initiated under section 132 on or after the 1stday of July, 2012.
In order to rationalise the rate of penalty and to reduce discretion it is proposed to amend that clause (c) of sub-section (1) of section 271AAB to provide for levy of penalty on such undisclosed income at a flat rate of sixty per cent of such income.
Clause 101 of Finance Bill 2016
Clause 101 of the Bill seeks to amend section 271AAB of the Income-tax Act relating to penalty where search has been initiated.
Clause (c) of sub-section (1) of the aforesaid section provides that a penalty of a sum which shall not be less than thirty per cent. but which shall not exceed ninety per cent. of the undisclosed income of the specified previous year shall be levied in case where search has been initiated under section 132 on or after the 1st day of July, 2012, and such case is not covered under the provisions of clauses (a) and (b) of sub-section (1) of section 271AAB.
It is proposed to amend the said clause (c) so as to provide for levy of penalty on such undisclosed income at a flat rate of sixty per cent.
Sub-section (2) of the aforesaid section provides for non-levy of penalty under clause (c) of sub-section (1) of section 271, in respect of undisclosed income referred to in sub-section (1) of section 271AAB.
It is proposed to amend the said sub-section (2) so as to provide that no penalty shall be levied under section 270A also in respect of the undisclosed income referred to in sub-section (1) of section 271AAB.
These amendments will take effect from 1st April, 2017 and will, accordingly, apply in relation to the assessment year 2017- 2018 and subsequent years.
