Facts on record and appellant's submission are perused. The appellant has not suo motto filed revised return rather he filed it in response to AO's notice u/s 148 of the Act. Further, there is no case regarding excess cash received over stamp duty valuation or sale deed consideration. The case is that the appellant declared Rs. 40 Lakh only as sale consideration whereas legal requirement was to declare the stamp duty value which was Rs. 43,12,517/- At the registry office the appellant pays stamp duty @ Rs. 43,12,517/- but in Income Tax Return he forgets declaring Rs. 43,12,517/- and declares Rs. 40,00,000/- only.

The penalty was levied upon the entire value of sale of shares amounting to Rs. 21300/-, which had also offered for tax to avoid litigation. The appeal is filed by raising single ground against the levy of penalty. Your honour, Ld. CIT(A) upheld the levy of penalty by passing an order, which is not the speaking order.

This meagre amount should not be treated to build up the capital advertently. Assessee accepted this meagre amount of addition as he thought that cost of litigation will be much more than cost of tax. Prayer Please delete the penalty. 6.
