Section 271DA IT Act | Payment of Tax to Avoid Litigation Not Admission of Violation, Penalty Deletion Upheld : ITAT Delhi

ITAT Delhi rules that payment of tax on undisclosed cash receipts to preempt litigation does not constitute an admission of violation under Section 271DA. The tribunal deleted the penalty, reinforcing that tax compliance alone cannot be construed as acknowledgment of wrongdoing, impacting taxpayers facing similar disputes.
