Penalty imposed u/s 271AAA - in course of search and seizure...

Penalty imposed u/s 271AAA - in course of search and seizure operation when the assessee came forward and offered certain income to show his bonafide and ultimately followed it up by actually offering such income to tax, in our view, the assessee should be given the benefit of the exceptions provided under sub-section (2) of section 271AAA. In any case of the matter, it is a fact on record that the assessee is no more and has been substituted by his legal heir, in course of proceeding before us. Thus we delete the penalty imposed under section 271AAA of the Act. - AT
