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 Merely because assessee has not Page | 6 withdrawn its claim even after the decision of Honourable supreme court in assesseement / appeal proceedings after the decision of the Honourbale supreme court cannot be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.

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.

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.
