ITAT Chandigarh held that as tax finally assessed would be equal to the tax deducted at source and hence there is no basis for levy of penalty u/s 271(1)(c) of the Income Tax Act.

It is not in dispute that the assessee accounted for provision of interest twice by mistake and on realising such mistake, necessary rectification entries were passed in the subsequent year and the same was offered as income.
