Sir if you need I can help you in drafting the reply of such notice but for that I need to first read the assessment order.

You need to reply the notice from e assessment tab in your profile.

If you need any help you can contact me.

Hope you find the information helpful if you do please rate it 5 and provide your valuable feedback for my improvement.

Thank you

Hi,

 

Your case fits into the under reporting/ misreporting of income. 

 

I suppose, you must have received a show cause notice from AO as to why penalty should not be levied.

 

You can file a detailed reply to AO mentioning following two things in details:

 

1. 271(1)(c) is applicable only if there is an element of mens rea (deliberate act of concealment of income). Whereas in your case, it seems to be missing.

 

2. Various case laws supporting above contentions and shelter of section 273B.

 

We can assist you in drafting a detailed submission on this matter.

Hello,

 

Notice under Section 271(1)(c) is issued for intiating penalty. 

If you can share the copy of the notice, it must clearly specify the reasons for levying the penalty.

Under the Income Tax Act, 1961, a person's gross income is calculated on the basis of 'salary income', 'income from house property', 'business income', 'capital gain', and 'income from other sources'.

"Under the head 'income from house property', tax is levied not on the rent but on the potential of the premises to yield income for the owner. Here taxation is on a notional basis, which is based on the annual value of the property-the sum the property could have generated if it was let out in a year," 

 

So, you need to pay the taxes with penalty on said amount.
