2015 (8) TMI 1195 - AT - Income TaxPenalty under section 272B - not quoting PAN in the appeal filed before the CIT(A) - Held that - The department has brought no material before us to show that the assessee was allotted PAN by the AO as per the provisions of sub-section (2) of section 139A of the Act. Further as per the provisions of section 273B penalty under section 272B is not leviable if the alleged default was for reasonable cause.We further find from the challan of Tribunal fee attached with the appeal memo that the assessee has quoted PAN therein. We further find that no material was brought before us to show that the assessee was informed by the department of her PAN and legal requirement of putting PAN at any time so that it can be inferred that the default was willful or bona fide. Keeping in view the entire facts in our considered view the default on the part of the assessee was because of her ignorance and not because of any mala fide intention and therefore we delete the penalty levied under section 272B of the Act. - Decided in favour of assessee.
