Tribunal Rejects Tax Penalty: Assessee's Accurate Records and Minor Discrepancies Lead to Favorable Decision.

April 27, 2024

Case Laws     Income Tax     AT

Levy of penalty u/s 271(1)(c) - The Tribunal found no justification for imposing a penalty as the assessee had sufficient cash balances and transparently recorded the land purchase in the books, supported by audit reports. Emphasized that agreeing to additions in quantum proceedings does not automatically warrant a penalty. - Regarding the issue related to Contractual Receipts Discrepancy: Considering the meager amount of discrepancy compared to the total income, lack of mala fide intention, and explanation regarding accounting practices, the Tribunal deemed the penalty unjustified. Overall, the Tribunal concluded that neither issue warranted the imposition of penalties, thereby ruling in favor of the assessee.
