O R D E R

In this appeal the assessee has raised 11 (1 to 11) grounds of appeal and raised additional grounds off appeal from 12 to 17, the sum and substance of which are against the action of the CIT(A) in upholding the computation of long term capital gains u/s 50C of the Act at Rs. 41,04,732/- by the AO.

2.Briefly the facts of the case are that during the course of the assessment proceedings, the Assessing officer noticed that the assessee claimed Long term capital gain of Rs.12,60,561/-. The Assessing Officer noticed that the assessee had showed receipt of Rs .6,68,50,000/- towards sale consideration of the commercial property located at 1-1-152 to 155, admeasuring 2474 Sq. Yards of Land at S.D. Road Secunderabad to M/s. Yasoda Health Services Pvt ltd on 14.11.2011.

3. When the assessee preferred an appeal before the CIT(A), against the order of AO, the CIT(A) upheld the order of AO.

4. After hearing both the parties and perusing the material on record as well as the orders of authorities below, it is observed that penalty has been imposed by the AO u/s 271(1)(b) for not complying with the notices issued dated 19/01/2015 by the AO u/s 142(1) of the Act. We find from the order of the AO that assessment was completed u/s 143(3) of the Act on 30/03/2015 and in the assessment order, the AO has not recorded any satisfaction for imposing penalty u/s 271(1)(b) of the Act.
