Penalty U/S.271 (1)(c) read with S.271(1B)

Description:
The penalty was initiated for filing inaccurate particulars of income, but it was levied for concealment of income – if the satisfaction arrived at during the assessment proceedings was for one reason, penalty cannot  be levied for another reason – Even after retrospective insertion of S.271(1)(1B), the difference between the two limbs of S.271(1)(c) is not erased and still remains.
