Section 270A IT Act | Voluntary Disclosure Under Section 139(8A) Before Notice Bars Penalty : ITAT Pune
ITAT Pune rules that penalty under Section 270A of the Income Tax Act cannot be imposed if the assessee voluntarily discloses additional income through a return filed under Section 139(8A) before issuance of a Section 148 notice. This holding reinforces the principle that voluntary compliance prior to reassessment notice precludes penalty, offering critical protection to taxpayers.
