The ITAT, an Appellate Tribunal, considered the issue of penalty u/s 271G in a case involving Transfer Pricing (TP) adjustment. The assessee did not initially provide segment-wise results for international transactions but later submitted the information to the TPO upon query. Despite this, the TPO imposed a penalty u/s 271G without proposing any Arm’s Length Price adjustment. The ITAT noted precedents where penalties were deleted in similar cases. The CIT(A) also referred to relevant decisions and deleted the penalty, citing the substantial compliance by the assessee, the nature of the diamond trade, and the absence of any Arm’s Length Price adjustment. The ITAT upheld the CIT(A)'s decision, dismissing the revenue's grounds for appeal.
