Levy of penalty u/s 271B - failure to get accounts audited in terms of provisions of section 44AB - Determination of turnover in the context of a share broker's income - The Appellate Tribunal ruled in favor of the assessee, holding that only commission income earned constitutes turnover for a share broker, not the sale consideration of shares.
