Penalty levied u/s 271B - tax audit report - In our view, strained relationship with the earlier CA would constitute reasonable cause. The tax authorities have pointed out time gap in getting a tax audit report from a new CA - As a known fact that it might have taken some time to severe relationship with the earlier CA. However, the fact remains that the tax audit report has been filed with the AO before completion of assessment. The tax authorities have mentioned about non-filing of tax audit report electronically.
