Assessee failed to justify receipt discrepancy between ITR and Form 26AS, AO made addition considering it as fees for technical services and imposed penalty u/s 270A for under-reporting income. ITAT held penalty order silent on assessee's submissions, penalty notice lacked specific allegation of misrepresentation/suppression, and subsequent rectification of Form 26AS removed discrepancy. Relying on Supreme Court judgment, ITAT set aside penalty considering entirety of circumstances and allowed assessee's grounds.
