2015 (12) TMI 1874 - ITAT HYDERABADPenalty u/s 271(1)(c) - bogus purchases - AO treated the additional income as concealed income considering the fact that only after the finding of the bogus purchases by the department, assessee accepted and filed the revised return of income - HELD THAT:- In the present case, the assessee had accepted the bogus purchase as additional income voluntarily due to the fact that assessee was not in a position to substantiate the claim, even though, the transaction was made through banking channel. The assessee had declared the additional income voluntarily and filed return of income, which the AO accepted the revised return of income to complete the assessment u/s 143(3) r.w.s. 147. We are inclined to note that the assessee filed the revised return of income which was duly accepted by the AO. From the above observations, it is clear that the assessee had neither concealed the particulars of the income nor furnished inaccurate particulars of such income. Hence, this is not a fit case to attract penalty proceedings u/s 271(1)(c) - Appeal of assessee allowed.
