sir, In AY 16-17 my turnover in intraday transaction in shares was 21 crore but I got loss of 4,50,000/- but at that time I was not aware about tax audit, now I got notice from IT department & AO is saying about to levy the penalty u/s 271B i.e. .5% of turnover or 1,50,000/- whichever is less.

AO can waive, if you can prove before him that the failure was not deliberate and there was a reasonable cause for the same. Pl see section 273B.
