<h1>Invalid penalty order overturned due to non-compliance with tax laws</h1> The appellant successfully challenged the penalty order imposed by the Income Tax Officer for non-payment of tax for the assessment year 1975-76. The ... - Issues:Challenge to penalty order under section 221 of the IT Act for the assessment year 1975-76 based on non-payment of tax, validity of show cause notice, compliance with demand, and imposition of penalty.Analysis:The appellant, an individual assessee, challenged the penalty order of Rs. 4,000 imposed by the Income Tax Officer (ITO) for non-payment of tax amounting to Rs. 18,999 for the assessment year 1975-76. The ITO issued a show cause notice under section 221(1) of the IT Act, which the assessee failed to comply with. The ITO, after considering the facts, imposed the penalty. The assessee contended before the ld. AAC that a relief of Rs. 8,074 was allowed in appeal, and requested a fresh challan which was not provided. The ld. AAC upheld the penalty order, leading to the second appeal by the assessee.The appellant's representative argued that the penalty was unjustified, emphasizing discrepancies in the outstanding tax demand amount. Referring to a petition addressed to the ITO, it was highlighted that the demand was not accurately reflected in the show cause notice. Citing a case precedent, the representative contended that the penalty imposed by the ITO was not valid due to the defective notice. The representative asserted that the ld. AAC erred in confirming the penalty order and sought cancellation of the penalty based on legal grounds.In the judgment, it was observed that the demand notice issued was not in accordance with the law, as it did not consider the provisions of section 219 of the IT Act. Relying on the precedent set by the Orissa High Court, it was concluded that the penalty imposed by the ITO was not valid. Consequently, the impugned order was set aside, and the penalty order of Rs. 4,000 was canceled.Therefore, the appellant's appeal was allowed, and the penalty order under section 221 of the IT Act for the assessment year 1975-76 was deemed invalid and canceled.
