This guide explains when penalties can be imposed under various provisions of the Income-tax Act, 1961. It also outlines the applicable penalty amounts for different types of tax defaults and compliance failures.
The ITAT Mumbai held that ESOP discount is an allowable deduction under Section 37(1), observing that the pendency of an SLP against a High Court judgment does not justify disallowance.
The Calcutta High Court held that Section 115JB was not applicable to Assessment Year 2011-12 as it became effective only from Assessment Year 2013-14. The appeal was dismissed in favour of the assessee.
Expenditure of ₹4.49 crore incurred on maintenance dredging for removal of natural siltation and restoration of the existing operational depth of the jetty constituted revenue expenditure allowable under section 37(1). Accordingly, the disallowance made by AO and sustained by CIT(A) was deleted.
The newly constructed storage tanks used for storing hazardous raw materials and finished products constituted an integral part of plant and machinery and were eligible for additional depreciation under section 32(1)(iia). Accordingly, the disallowance of ₹91.12 lakh was deleted.
The Gujarat High Court held that reopening under Sections 147 and 148 could not be sustained where allowing higher depreciation would not result in any escapement of income chargeable to tax. It ruled that the reassessment was based on a mere change of opinion and quashed the proceedings.
The ITAT Mumbai held that the assessee’s convertible debentures lacked the liability component required for classification as Compound Financial Instruments. Consequently, they could not be treated as transition amount under Section 115JB(2C).
ITAT Hyderabad held that the assessee was denied a fair hearing because appellate notices were not served in the mode opted in Form 35. The case was remanded to the CIT(A) for fresh adjudication after providing a proper opportunity.
The ITAT held that penalty proceedings under Section 270A were invalid because the Assessing Officer did not specify the applicable statutory charge under the provision. It ruled that such omission violated the principles of natural justice and quashed the penalty.
The ITAT held that sales tax subsidy granted under industrial incentive schemes constituted a capital receipt because its purpose was industrial development rather than business profits. The Revenue’s appeal was dismissed and the subsidy was excluded from taxable income and book profits.
