The Appellate Tribunal addressed the issue of penalty u/s 271(1)(c) related to the addition of closing stock. The AO levied penalty on an addition u/s 36(1)(iii) that was deleted by the CIT(A), showing a lack of application of mind. Both authorities failed to provide reasons for considering the closing stock valuation addition as concealment. The Tribunal found no basis for concluding that the addition constituted inaccurate particulars, citing legal precedent. The Tribunal examined the valuation difference in closing stock, noting the assessee's justifications were not refuted by the Revenue. As the explanation was deemed bona fide, the penalty was deemed unsustainable, ruling in favor of the assessee.
