i. Order of Honble ITAT Delhi in the case of First Blue Home
Finance Limited vs. DCIT in ITA No. 3072/DEL/2013;
ii. Order of the Honble ITAT Mumbai in the case of Aegis Limited
vs. ACTT in ITA No. 1213/Mum/2014;
139. Only after confronted with the material indicative of having
undisclosed income, the appellant filed return of income on 30.03.2018
declaring total income of Rs. 20,23,510/- for A.Y. 2011-12. The filing of
return of income u/s 139 was expired on 31.03.2013. Therefore a return of
income filed after five years from time limit allotted u/s 139 cannot be said
as a valid return. The appellant's claim before the A.O., that it had declared

income before issue of notice u/s 148 thus holds no water. Further, on the
additions made of Rs. 17,40,381/- on account of disallowance of expenses,
the appellant conveniently claim that she had misplaced the supporting
evidence and in order to avoid litigation she has agreed to pay taxes.
Secondly, the appellant before the A.O. relied upon the judgment of Hon'ble
Delhi Tribunal in the case of Netambit Value First Pvt Lt Vs DCIT (2018 (3)
TMI 36-Hon'ble ITAT Delhi). On perusal of the case, it was noticed that
hon'ble Tribunal had allowed relief from penalty where disallowance was
made u/s 40a(ia). It was not a case that the payments were doubted rather
payments were made without TDS, which attracted disallowance u/s
40a(ia). The case of the appellant is entirely different. The appellant claimed
expenses and no details of the expenses were available making the entire
expenses as bogus. Thus the case law cited by the appellant before the
A.O., was not applicable in the appellant's case. Thus the appellant had not
filed the return of income u/s 139 and concealed particulars of income to the
extent of 37,63,890/-. Accordingly, penalty levied by the A.O. is upheld. The
Ground Nos. 1 & 2 are hereby DISMISSED."
