Concessional penalty for search-disclosed unreconciled jewellery applies where substantive disclosure conditions are met despite omission from origina...
The AT dismissed both appeals for non-compliance with the second proviso to Section 19(1) of FEMA, 1999. The Appellants failed to make the requisite pre-deposit of penalty amounts, did not apply for an extension of time, and produced no stay order or orders from any higher judicial forum to justify non-compliance. The record further showed an absence of communication between the Appellants and their counsel. On that basis the AT held the appeals to be non-maintainable and declined to entertain merits, resulting in outright dismissal of both appeals.
