    <title>Penalty under section 271E for alleged breach of section 269T quashed as time-barred; limitation expired before penalty</title>
    <link>https://www.taxtmi.com/highlights?id=91922</link>
    <description>ITAT held that the penalty under section 271E for alleged contravention of s.269T is time-barred and therefore quashed. The Tribunal found that an order under s.143(3) was passed on 02/05/2017, making the relevant assessment year end 31/03/2018 and the six-month period from the month of initiation expire on 30/11/2017, fixing the limitation to 31/03/2018. Even if the s.263 order dated 08/03/2021 is taken for limitation reckoning, the six-month period expired on 30/09/2021 and the limitation would be 31/03/2021. The impugned penalty dated 31/08/2022 exceeded the period prescribed by s.275(1) and was quashed; appeal of the assessee allowed.</description>
