Penalty increase for specified tax default raises the fixed monetary sanction for non-compliance under the income-tax penalty provision.

The statutory amendment increases the fixed monetary penalty for a specified default by substituting the prior lower sum with a higher fixed rupee amount in the provision that prescribes penalties for certain defaults under the Income-tax regime; the change modifies only the quantum of the prescribed sanction without changing the description of defaults or procedural provisions for assessment.
