The ITAT held that the assessing officer must compute tax liability on the addition under section 69A at the 30% rate prescribed by the pre-amended section 115BBE, rejecting application of the post-amendment 60% rate; the Tribunal followed the reasoning of its coordinate bench and applied precedent to direct reassessment consistent with the pre-amendment regime.
