Article discusses validity of an income tax assessment and penalty under section 271AAD(1)(i), emphasising that assessments rest on a preponderance of probabilities and are sustained if that standard is met.

While writ petitions seeking relief lack merit on those grounds, the impugned orders were quashed and the matter remitted with an opportunity for the assessee to apply for relevant documents and file fresh replies.
