R.Geetha, , Coimbatore vs Assessee on 11 October, 2012
A.Y 2007-08
"5. The Assessing Officer had added Rs.1,30,000/- as
unexplained cash credits u/s 68 of the I.T.Act. The
Assessing Officer contends that even though the appellant
was asked to explain the source, identity and capacity of the
person who had given the above amount, the appellant was not
able to explain the source of the above transaction for RS.1
,30,000/-. This addition was accepted by the appellant and had
not filed appeal before the CIT(Appeals) or ITAT.
5.1 The Assessing Officer has given detailed reasons in rejecting
the submissions put forth by the appellant for not levying the
penalty. I am in full agreement for the reasons cited by the
Assessing officer for levy of penalty as it is evident that
Rs.1,30,000/- added u/s 68 was clear concealment under the
provisions of the I.T. Act. Further, the judgement in the case of
CIT vs. Reliance Petro Products (P) Ltd. reported in 36 DTR 449
[SC] will not come to the rescue of the appellant as the same
was regarding penalty on disallowance of expenditure.
Therefore, the penalty levied at RS.31,234/- u/s 271 (1)(c) is
confirmed in the hands of the appellant."
