AT adjudicated a money laundering case involving failure to file Cash Transaction Reports (CTRs) for interconnected transactions exceeding Rs. 10 lakhs monthly. The tribunal reduced penalties from initial assessments, imposing a consolidated penalty of Rs. 50,000 for non-reporting of 9 CTRs and an additional Rs. 10,000 for ineffective internal transaction monitoring mechanisms.
