Seshasayee Paper & Board Ltd vs The Deputy Commissioner Of Income Tax on 15 May, 2015
Ltd. v. Dy. CIT
[2003] 87 ITD 298 (Delhi). Therefore, it cannot be said that in all the
cases the provision for NPA is not allowable at all. Since the return was
filed based on the then prevailing view as approved by the Tribunal, it can
be considered to be a bona fide view. Further, when the provision was
made, the same was based on the prudential norms issued by RBI, which
the assessee is mandatorily required to follow. The claim at thime of
filing of return of Income is also found plausible in accordance with the
view adopted by the Tribunal. Merely because assessee has not

withdrawn its claim even after the decision of Honourable supreme court
in assesseement / appeal proceedings after the decision of the
Honourbale supreme court cannot be used against the assessee for levy
of penalty. The decision rendered by honourable supreme court was
final and therefore withdrawal of the claim or otherwise does not make
any difference in so far as the issue of penalty is concerned. Therefore, if
can be said that when the claim was made, the same was bona fide claim
supported by judicial opinion of the Tribunal, penalty there on cannot be
levied.
Commissioner Of Income-Tax vs Suresh Chandra Mittal on 26 July, 2001
The hon'ble Supreme Court in the case of CIT v. Suresh Chandra
Mittal [2001] 251 ITR 9 held that penalty need not be levied when an
explanation has been offered by the assessee and where the explanation
is found not to be false and is bona fide. Based on facts of the present
case and the order of the Tribunal extracted hereinabove, it is not a fit
case for confirming levy of penalty under section 271(1) (c) of the Act for
furnishing inaccurate particulars of the income. We are, therefore, unable
to confirm the penalty levied under section 271(1) (c) of the Act. Hence,
we reverse the finding of the CIT (A) and direct the ld AO to delete the
penalty on the disallowance of claim of assessee of loss on non-
performing assets based on RBI guidelines/ directions.
Phillips India Ltd. (Earlier Punjab ... vs Asstt. Commissioner Of Income Tax on 21 October, 2004
8. In the present case with the assessee has filed his return of income on
31st of October 2008 was a decision of the coordinate bench wherein it
has been held that provision on the non-performing asset is an allowable
expenditure. The assessee has also put in a note in the computation of

total income mentioning the decision as well as the claim of the assessee.
Therefore, at the time of filing of the return of income it is apparent that
assessee was under bona fide belief that the above claim is allowable to
the assessee, which is also supported by the decision of the coordinate
bench. Subsequently there is a change in the judicial precedent and the
matter reached up to the Hon'ble Supreme Court where in case of
Southern technologies versus ACIT 320 ITR 577 Hon'ble Supreme Court
in the such deduction is not allowable if it is not in accordance with the
provisions of the income tax act. However, there the dispute with
respect to the allowance of the above claim rests.. However, it is
apparent that the claim was bona fide and was not false as at the time
when the return was filed there was difference of judicial opinion as to
allowability of the provision for NPA on the basis of RBI Guidelines. The
related to allowance of the was resolved only after the decision of the
Special Bench of the Tribunal was rendered in the case of New India
Industries Ltd. v. Asstt. CIT [2007] 112 TTJ (Delhi) 917. This decision
was rendered on 26-10-2007. Prior to this there was a divergence of
opinion expressed by the various orders of coordinate benches?
