Penalties range from a minimum of one thousand to twenty-five thousand rupees for non-compliance and up to five times the evaded tax for concealment. Exceptions exist if the person demonstrates reasonable cause for non-compliance. The section outlines procedural requirements for imposing penalties, including providing the concerned person a chance to be heard.
