The penalty levied u/s. 271(1)(c) of the Act of Rs.42,60,153/- is therefore, restricted to Rs.21,43,600/- based on the 'reduced concealed income' as per quantum appellate order dated 26.11.2008. 3.3 Learned CIT(A) has directed the AO to restrict the levy of such penalty to the unexplained cash credit of Rs.3 lacs and Rs.4,66,093/- and in respect unexplained and non verifiable creditors to the tune of Rs.50,91,930/-. 4.

Learned D.R. further argued that the matter with regard to the set aside issue be also set aside instead of cancelling the penalty. He further argued that the penalty with regard to Rs.1,50,000/- which has been confirmed by the ITAT should be confirmed since no details have been placed on record by the assessee before any of the authorities below or even before this Bench. 6.
