Please note that penalty under both these sections can not be imposed at the same time. Difference between both these sections are as below:
1. Penalty u/s 221 is imposed by AO while by Joint Comm. u/s 271C.
2. Section 221 comes into play only when there is a defaul in payment while 271C comes into force both at the time of failure to deduct and payment.
3. penalty u/s 271C is automatic while u/s 221 is only at the direction of AO.
