Section 253 of the Act inter-alia provides that any assessee aggrieved by any of the orders mentioned in sub-section (1) of the said section may appeal to the Appellate Tribunal against such order.
Aforesaid appeal by the assessee is against order dated 28th December 2015, passed by the learned Commissioner (Appeals)–37, Mumbai, confirming penalty under section 271(1)(c) of the Income-tax Act, 1961 (for short the Act) for the assessment year 2010–11.

The appellant has admitted in his sworn statement about this undisclosed income, has filed the return of income showing the same as his income & has paid the necessary taxes on this. From the case laws mentioned above, it is clear that on similar facts of the case, penalty u/s 271AAA has been cancelled. Therefore, humbly following the case laws as cited supra, the penalty u/s 271AAA is cancelled.
