Section 270A IT Act | Penalty Quashed for Failure to Specify Misreporting Limb in Show-Cause Notice : ITAT Bangalore
ITAT Bangalore set aside a penalty under Section 270A of the Income Tax Act, ruling that a show-cause notice must explicitly specify the limb of misreporting to sustain the penalty. The tribunal held that bonafide reliance on Form 16 constitutes valid disclosure under Section 270A(6)(a), protecting assessees from arbitrary penalties.
