The ITAT held that the assessee’s exclusion of income based on the Place of Effective Management provisions involved a bona fide and debatable legal issue. It ruled that such a claim could not be treated as misreporting under Section 270A.
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.
ITAT Mumbai held that penalty under Section 270A cannot be levied merely because income was estimated after rejection of books. Since the addition was based on estimation and not on specific concealed income, the penalty was deleted.
ITAT Delhi held that receipts from hiring conference and auditorium facilities constituted business income under Section 11(4A) as the charitable society actively provided commercial facilities beyond passive letting. The assessee’s appeals were dismissed.
ITAT Ahmedabad held that an arithmetical mistake committed by the assessee’s consultant did not amount to misreporting of income under Section 270A(9). The penalty was cancelled as there was no misrepresentation or suppression of facts.
The ITAT held that the Assessing Officer must clearly indicate whether the alleged default is under-reporting or misreporting, as both attract different consequences under Section 270A. Failure to do so rendered the penalty order invalid.
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 Mumbai ITAT held that penalty under Section 270A cannot be sustained where income is determined purely on estimation after rejection of books. It also ruled that a show-cause notice failing to specify whether the penalty is for under-reporting or misreporting of income is legally defective and invalid.
ITAT Delhi held that cash deposits arising from recorded and accepted cash sales cannot be added as unexplained cash credits under Section 68. The Tribunal found no evidence contradicting the books of account or stock records.
The Tribunal ruled that filing a return in response to Section 148 does not cure the failure to file the original return within the due date prescribed under Section 139(1). Consequently, the claim for deduction under Section 80P was rightly rejected.
