Therefore, the matter is remitted to the Tribunal for a fresh decision. The Tribunal while deleting the penalty u/s 76 has not discussed and stated the stand of the assessee only. Thus, matter is restored back to the Tribunal to decided whether or not there was any reasonable cause. - Decided in favor of Revenue.
