01 April 2009 Dear sir

while submitting the return of income of one of my client, my assistant had wrongly entered the PAN no. of her husband instead of her PAn No whili filing her return of income for the AY 2007-08 through efiling mode. at that time the system had accepted the same in that PAN no (without showing that the name in return is wrong) in the month of MArch 2008. now the Income tax officer has issued a penalty notice u/s 272B for quoting of wrong PAN no accepting that return of income was her only. kindly suggest me how i resolve this case

01 April 2009 First u have to convince the officer regarding genuine mistake. Because penalty u/s 272B can be waived if mistake is not intentional and prove it to the officer
