Section 270A IT Act | Penalty Immunity for Voluntary Updated Return Before SCN: ITAT Dehradun Reinforces Natural Justice
ITAT Dehradun rules that taxpayers who voluntarily disclose additional income via an updated return and pay due taxes before issuance of a show-cause notice (SCN) cannot be penalized under Section 270A of the Income Tax Act. The ruling underscores that acceptance of the updated return by the Assessing Officer negates any allegation of under-reporting or misreporting, protecting taxpayers from punitive penalties.
