23 April 2014 assessee engesed in wholesale business considering profit margin 3-4% His turnover crossed limit prescribed u/s 44AB He didn't approach to an accountant but opted to pay tax 8% on total turnover. He has been charged u/s 271B. Can an explanation be given as if assessee approached to an accountant he would have pay less tax than actual, as a result revenew has received excess tax allready so imposing penalty further is unjustified ?

24 April 2014 paying higher tax without preparing proper books and getting the audit done doesnt spare you from penalty for not getting the audit done..at best you can file a revised return and request for refund!
