Suray,

What application are you viewing the output file with?  I would suggest
adding the "-co INTERLEAVE=PIXEL" option on the commandline for gdal_translate
to create a more vanilla geotiff file as output.

eg.
gdal_translate -of GTiff -co INTERLEAVE=PIXEL
     -projwin 228000 22200 228200 22000
     B228022_P72_Y2005_S71.tif .\tiles200\228000-22200-228200-22000.tif

Let me know if this resolves your issue.

Best regards,
