2015 (5) TMI 927 - ITAT AHMEDABADPenalty u/s 271(1)(c) - inaccurate particulars of income by the assessee relating to capital gains - CIT(A) deleted penalty levy - Held that:- During the course of assessment, the Assessing Officer observed that the assessee has credited profits on sales of shares directly to capital reserve and not credited the same to the profit and loss account. The assessee though included the capital gain derived from sale of shares in the normal computation but not included the same while computing book profit u/s 115JB of the Act; therefore, in the opinion of the Assessing Officer, non inclusion of the capital gain while computing book profit u/s 115JB amounts to furnishing of inaccurate particulars of income by the assesse. We find that the Assessing Officer was not justified in holding that the inaccurate particulars of income relating to capital gain was furnished by the assessee. No inaccuracy in any of the particulars in respect of capital gain earned by the assessee was found by the Assessing Officer and the addition to the book profit was made because of difference in the opinion in respect of presentation of such capital gain whether such capital gain should have been credited in the profit and loss account or directly to capital reserve in the balance-sheet. The assessee was of the opinion that such capital gain could have been directly credited to capital reserve account in the balance-sheet, whereas as per the Assessing Officer such capital gain should have been credited in the profit and loss account only. The Hon’ble Supreme Court in the case of CIT vs. Reliance Petroproducts Pvt Ltd, reported in [2010 (3) TMI 80 - SUPREME COURT] wherein held a mere making of a claim, which is not sustainable in law, by itself, will not amount to furnishing inaccurate particulars regarding the income of the assessee. Such a claim made in the return cannot amount to furnishing inaccurate particulars. - Decided in favour of assesse.
