2016 (4) TMI 71 - ITAT JAIPURPenalty under section 271(1)(c) - deemed dividend addition u/s 2(22) - assessment u/s 153A - Held that:- The assessee filed the return under section 139 for all the years and disclosed the particulars of shareholding pattern, advances taken and given by the assessee company/individual in return itself. The accumulated profit also has been disclosed. Thereafter assessee filed return under section 153A of the IT Act wherein also all the detailed facts and figures were disclosed in the return. The assessee’s case is auditable. The assessee at the time of quantum addition as well as at the time of penalty proceedings has reiterated that these advances are in the course of regular business. It is a running account, said advances later on repaid. This issue is debatable and various courts particularly in the case of Creative Dyeing & Printing (P) Ltd. (2009 (9) TMI 43 - DELHI HIGH COURT ) wherein it has been held that business transaction is not covered under section 2(22)(e) of the Act. Various other case laws cited by the assessee has also made this issue debatable. The case relied on by the AO i.e. Mak Data P. Ltd. is not applicable as assessee at every stage had filed the explanation before the AO as well as CIT (A) i.e. these transactions were made for the purpose of business and commercial expediency, is bonafide. Penalty imposed by the AO and confirmed by ld. CIT (A) are not justified. Accordingly we delete the penalty in all the cases. - Decided in favour of assessee
