In the meantime against the assessment order, the assessee preferred an appeal before the CIT(A). The CIT(A) vide order dated 29/11/2010 dismissed the appeal of the assessee. 5. The Assessing Officer while passing penalty order u/s 271(1)(c) held that the CIT(A) in quantum confirmed that the profit on sale of ESOP shares comes to Rs. 97,17,279/- which is assessable as Short Term Capital Gain instead of Long Term Capital Gain.

If we accept the contention of the Revenue then in case of every Return where the claim made is not accepted by Assessing Officer for any reason, the assessee will invite penalty under Section 271(1)(c). That is clearly not the intendment of the Legislature." Thu ..... X X X X Extracts X X X X X X X X Extracts X X X X
