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)?
