<h1>Income Tax Bill 2025 Clause 446 sets penalties for missing audit requirements under Section 63</h1> The Income Tax Bill 2025's Clause 446 imposes penalties for failure to get accounts audited or furnish audit reports as required under section 63. The penalty is the lesser of 0.5% of total sales, turnover, or gross receipts, or Rs. 1,50,000. This provision largely mirrors existing Section 271B of the Income-tax Act 1961, maintaining the same penalty structure and triggers. Key differences include updated terminology using 'tax year' instead of 'previous year' and cross-reference to section 63 rather than section 44AB. The provision grants Assessing Officers discretionary authority to impose penalties, though it lacks explicit 'reasonable cause' exceptions, potentially indicating stricter enforcement under the modernized framework.
