Penalty provision

can anyone tell me the difference between section 271AA(2) and Section 271GB(4)
Replies (3)
Under 271AA(2)
If any person fails to furnish the information and the document as required under sub-section (4) of section 92D, the prescribed income-tax authority referred to in the said sub-section may direct that such person shall pay, by way of penalty, a sum of 5 lakh.


Under 271GB(4)
Where a reporting entity referred to in section 286 provides inaccurate information in the report furnished in accordance with sub-section (2) of the said section and where—

 (a) the entity has knowledge of the inaccuracy at the time of furnishing the report but fails to inform the prescribed authority; or

 (b) the entity discovers the inaccuracy after the report is furnished and fails to inform the prescribed authority and furnish correct report within a period of fifteen days of such discovery; or

 (c) the entity furnishes inaccurate information or document in response to the notice issued under sub-section (6) of section 286,

then, the prescribed authority may direct that such person shall pay, by way of penalty, a sum of 5 lakhs.
My query is both are applicable to constituent entity and is that the duplication of penalty?
Both sections are different and there is no duplication of penalty.
