Penalty under s. 272A(1)(d) for alleged non-compliance with notices issued under s. 142(1) was examined where the notices were only uploaded on the e-filing portal and the assessment was completed ex parte under s. 144.

Consequently, the appellate order affirming the penalty was set aside and the penalty was deleted. - ITAT
