Mr. Harit ,

U hav not furnished the conplete detail. In which sec. AO has imposed the penalty. I feel that it should be 271(1((c) for funishing inaccurate particulars in return. Normally AO issued the show cause notice before imposition of penalty under above sec. and assssee should give opportunity to prove that it is not his mistake or wilful act. If AO is not satisfy and Assessee fail to prove than only AO impose the penalty. It is not your wilful act it is artmatical error U can prove easily. The Form 16 was issued by  the tax deductor not by U..
