“If the intent of settlement is merely to avoid any undue hardships and buy peace, without the taxpayer being convicted for any offence/wrong-doing or criminal/civil violation, then such payment may not classify as a penalty. Deeming such payment as a penalty will deter the taxpayer from taking benefit of the settlement procedures prescribed by SEBI,”
