Assessee made repayments of loans/deposits through modes other than account payee cheques/drafts, violating Section 269T. Penalty u/s 271E was imposed. ITAT bifurcated transactions into those with related parties and Customer Sales Agents (CSAs). For CSA transactions, outstanding dues were adjusted against security deposits through journal entries, breaching Section 269SS.
