Whether penalty under s.13(1) FEMA for contravention relating to export proceeds/undervaluation should be enhanced up to three times was rejected because the provision prescribes only a maximum ceiling and no minimum or fixed penalty, leaving quantum to the adjudicating authority's judicious discretion based on facts and evidence.
