Being aggrieved, the assessee filed an appeal to the AAC.

The second ground relates to the charging of interest under s. 139 and s. 271. The learned counsel for the assessee did not address any argument on this ground.

In the result, the appeal is partly allowed. - - TaxTMI - TMITax - Income T ..... X X X X Extracts X X X X X X X X Extracts X X X X
