09 August 2016 The assessee had purchased House on 27.5.14 for 70 lacs. And TDS was not deducted at that time and made full payment to seller.
He deposited the TDS on 10.1.2015 and generated Form 26QB and Form 16B on 15.1.2015.
Later on demand, he deposited Due Interest on Late deduction Rs.6300/- on 12.7.2016 and cleared the matter.

Now Department has issued the Penalty Notice u/s 272A(2)(g) for failure to generate Form 16B in due time (which is 15 days of due generation of 26Q)

Since the assessee had already paid the interest on late deduction and Form 16B cannot be generated before deposit of TDS and TDS was deposited late.\

Is this Penalty is Justified?

09 August 2016 It does not appears that the levy of penalty is correct. I wish to see the documents submitted. There might be some error in that.
If possible send that(form 16B and 26QB) to my mail address
