2015 (6) TMI 494 - AT - Income TaxPenalty u/s 271(1)(c) - CIT(A) cancelled penalty levy - disallowance u/s 14A - Held that:- Where there is no finding that any details supplied by the assessee in its return are found to be incorrect or erroneous or false there is no question of inviting the penalty under Section 271 (l)(c). A mere making of a claim, which is not sustainable in law by itself will not amount to furnishing inaccurateparticulars regarding the income of the assessee. Such a claim made in the return cannot amount to furnishing inaccurate particulars.See Commissioner of Income tax vs. Reliance Petroproducts Pvt. Ltd. reported in [2010 (3) TMI 80 - SUPREME COURT ] Thus in the present case, the penalty under section 271(1)(c) is not leviable and it deserves to be deleted, hence, Ld. CIT(A) has rightly deleted the penalty made by the Assessing Officer. - Decided in favour of assessee.
