Penalty under section 271D for alleged contravention of section 269SS was found unsustainable where the assessment proceedings did not record any finding of such violation. The Tribunal noted that the assessee had furnished complete details of the cash deposits during assessment, and that penalty could not rest on a later second opinion.
