Penalty under Section 271DA was quashed because it rested on seized digital material and an alleged hawala token that had already been found inadmissible in the connected group case; once that electronic material could not validly support factual findings, it could not sustain the penalty. The Tribunal also held that the underlying transaction was a loan transaction and, if at all, fell within Section 269SS rather than Section 269ST.
