26 March 2009 Hii can anyone explain the difference between the provisions under Section 276C(1) and 276C(2)

26 March 2009 276C(1) is attracted when assessee conceal income to evade tax whereas 276C(2) is attracted when assessee wilfully evade the payment or show false payment though he has disclose the income correctly.

26 March 2009 Continuing Mr. Tushar, Willfull attempt of evasion is also necessary to attract 276C(1).

28 March 2009 Sub section (1) relates to "evasion of tax", (2) relates to "evasion of payment of tax". In first case income is concealed to evade tax. In the second case, income has not been concealed, it has been assesed- however the person liable to pay tax is evading payment of tax.

28 March 2009 Thank you. So can it be implied that whenever penalty u/s 271(1)(c) is attracted it's a case for prosecution though not automatic under 276C(1)?
