2016 (9) TMI 4 - ITAT DELHIPenalty u/s 271(1)(c) - Held that:- In the show cause notice dated 01/12/2010 there was no specific charges as relates to concealment of income or furnishing of inaccurate particulars of income as relates to business advance as it was forfeited and the same were accepted in respective years. Therefore, there was no concealment on the part of the assessee. This was a simple case of disallowance of expenses under the head in which most of smaller expenses have been allowed during the year as well as in the earlier years. Thus, the authorities cited by the Ld. AR are applicable in the present case. In respect of miscellaneous expenses, the forfeitures were not produced since they were untraceable and the same was not concealed by the assessee before the Assessing Officer. Thus, there is no concealment. Thus, Section 271(1)(c) of the Act was not correctly invoked by the Assessing Officer. The CIT(A) also overlooked the actual intention of the penalty proceedings which clearly set out that when there is inaccurate particulars or concealment on part of the assessee, then the same should be proceeded. But in the present case, the assessee has disclosed all the factual aspects before the Assessing Officer which cannot be stated that there was concealment of particulars of income or the assessee furnished inaccurate particulars of income. - Decided in favour of assessee.
