Penalty under section 271D for alleged section 269SS violation was held time-barred where the Assessing Officer had recorded satisfaction and referred the matter for penalty during assessment, because limitation under section 275(1)(c) ran from the end of that month and was not extended by the later penalty notice.

The levy was therefore quashed.
