We have heard the Learned D.R.. None was present for the assessee. 3. The solitary issue which arises for our consideration is whether the Ld CIT(A) justified in cancelling the penalty levied by the A.O. u/s. 271(1)(c) of the Act on the disallowance of the claim of ₹ 28,06,265/- and ₹ 90,263/- under the provisions of Sec. 80 IB (10) and 40(a)(ia) of the Act respectively. 4.

In the said case, their Lordships have held that merely because the claim is disallowed which is otherwise bonafide, the asses ..... X X X X Extracts X X X X X X X X Extracts X X X X
