Penalty proceedings initiated by the AO is altogether different from assessment proceedings. . Right now the penalty proceedings have been initiated by him. . If the penalty is not finalized by him; you can approach him and "pursue" your case with him on below mentioned grounds. . If finalized; definitely you can go into appeal with following more arguments : . 1. The commission paid could not be duly replied to the "satisfaction of the AO" at the time of assessment proceedings. . 2. The expenditure is real. The payee is real (attach confirmation; his supporting documents of like PAN card, his bank account where payment has been shown, his Income-Tax Return copy where the said income has been shown). . 3. Argue before CIT (A) that to buy peace; you agreed to the additions. . 4. Merely because additions have been made; doesn't mean particulars are "inaccurate" and thus liable to penalty.
