  "summary": "What appeared to be a filing lapse eventually turned into a tax penalty of Rs 3.74 lakh. The Income Tax Department took a strict view of the matter, maintaining that had the non-filing not been detected, Aggarwal might not have filed his ITR at all. This, in turn, would have meant that his salary and interest income remained unreported.",
