Non payment of income tax in response to a notice leads to prosecution. In such circumstances, is it a civil or criminal offence?

It is important to note that since some of the above terms have not been defined under the I.T. Act, the meaning of the terms used above have to be taken from the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973, as mandated under Sec. 280C of the I.T. Act.........

I do not have much information on this subject, but I think it will be accepted as a civil law. If friends have more information on this topic, it's a good idea.

Thanks erison
