Section 115, 271 of Income Tax Act, 1961—Penalty u/s 271(1)(c) of the act—In the instant case, the assessee treated the income from sale of fixed assets as well income by way of profit from sale of other fixed assets to be income from core shipping activities albeit the said claim stood rejected by all the authorities concurrently including Mumbai-tribunal in assessee’s own case for impugned assessment year 2006-07.
Held that— we are of the considered view that penalty u/s 271(1)(c) of the 1961 Act in the instant case before us is not exigible as explanations as were submitted by the assessee were bonafide explanations which has taken it out of clutches of penalty provisions as were contained in Section 271(1)(c) of the 1961 Act and hence we have no hesitation in deleting the penalty as levied by the AO u/s 271(1)(c) and confirmed by learned CIT(A).[THE SHIPPING CORPORATION OF INDIA LTD.
