Tribunal Rules No Penalty for Assessee's Honest Mistake in Tax Filing, Dismissing Revenue's Claim of Inaccurate Income Disclosure.

June 8, 2024

Case Laws     Income Tax     AT

The Appellate Tribunal considered a case involving penalty u/s 271(1)(c) for furnishing inaccurate particulars of income. The Assessee did not disclose non-eligibility of brought forward losses in the return. The Assessee voluntarily paid additional taxes before assessment proceedings. The Tribunal held that the Assessee's actions were not deliberate inaccuracies. The Tribunal found no concealment or inaccurate particulars at the time of filing the return. The Tribunal dismissed the Revenue's claim that the Assessee could have claimed a refund if not selected for scrutiny. The Tribunal emphasized that the Assessee's explanation was bona fide and that the penalty under u/s 271(1)(c) was not justified. The Tribunal ruled in favor of the Assessee, stating that the conditions for imposing the penalty were not met.
