Government Entity Wins Tax Dispute: Penalty Canceled for Honest Income Disclosure and Unintentional Data Transmission Error

Case Laws Income Tax HC

HC ruled on penalty u/s 271(1)(c) regarding book profit discrepancies. The court found that the assessee, a government entity, voluntarily disclosed income mismatches before scrutiny assessment. The Tax Audit Report was correctly filed and uploaded on the Income Tax Portal. The revenue authority did not allege income concealment. The mismatch was attributed to a data transmission error without malafide intent. The Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals) deleted the penalty, determining the discrepancy was an inadvertent mistake. The HC upheld the appellate order, deciding in favor of the assessee and dismissing the penalty proceedings.
