9. The Ld. CIT DR in rejoinder submitted that in the case of Penwalt India
Limited(supra) some manufacturing activity was done by the taxpayer but in
22
I.T.A. No. 7529/Mum/2011
the instant case no manufacturing was done by assessee . It was submitted
by learned CIT DR that it is claimed that there was an opinion taken by the
assessee from professionals but no such opinion was brought on record as
it was not filed before the authorities below and not even before the tribunal.
It was also submitted that provisions of Section 10B and 80IC are different
which operate in altogether different field wherein Section 80IC clearly
requires manufacturing . Thus, learned CIT DR strongly supported the
levying of penalty u/s 271(1)(c) of the 1961 Act and contended that the
appellate order of learned CIT(A) is erroneous which needed to be reversed
and penalty levied by the AO be confirmed.
Commissioner Of Income-Tax vs Sree Valliappa Textiles Ltd. on 8 August, 1986
The ld. Counsel for the assessee submitted
21
I.T.A. No. 7529/Mum/2011
that in respect of the decision of Hon'ble Karnataka High Court in the case of
CIT v. Sree Valliappa Textiles(supra) relied upon by the Ld. CIT-DR was a
case wherein bogus claim was lodged and the machinery was never put to
use by the taxpayer as it was not even dispatched by the seller and hence
penalty was confirmed under those circumstances and hence the said case
was distinguishable on facts.
C.I.T.,Ahmedabad vs Reliance Petroproducts Pvt.Ltd on 17 March, 2010
In
the instant case in our considered view , the assessee has been able to
demonstrate that although claim for deduction u/s. 80IC as lodged by the
assessee with the revenue was not tenable but the assessee made a bona-
fide claim as the loan license issued by Licesning authority was held in the
name of the assessee to manufacture pharma products at Vaibhav's unit at
Baddi, HP, manufacturing was done under assessee's supervision and
control to utilise the spare capacity of Vaibhav unit at Baddi, HP under
contract manufacturing agreement, raw material and packing material was
supplied by the assessee to Vaibhav and even sale orders were issued by it .
Ultimately it was also proposed to merge the said sister/associated concern
namely M/s Vaibhav with assessee under a scheme of merger approved by
Hon'ble Bombay High Court w.e.f. 01-01-2006 which falls within the
impugned assessment year, which date of merger was later advanced to 01-
04-2006 . It is also demonstrated by the assessee that Vaibhav unit at
Baddi, HP was entitled for deduction u/s 80IC . Thus , it is a case where
legal claim was raised by the assessee as to deduction u/s 80IC w.r.t.
manufacturing done by the assessee at Vaibhav's unit at Baddi, HP which
ultimately did not found favour with the Revenue and the issue is squarely
covered by decision of Hon'ble Supreme Court in the case of Reliance
Petroproducts Private Limited(supra) wherein it is held that just making of
legal claim which does not found favour with Revenue will not make the
taxpayer automatically liable for penalty. We have observed that assessee
has made all the due declarations/disclosures with the Revenue in the
return of income filed with the revenue and in the audited financial
statements w.r.t its claim for deduction u/s 80IC with respect to
manufacturing done by the assessee at Vaibhav's Baddi, HP unit, thus, it
cannot be said that assessee has either furnished inaccurate particulars of
income or had concealed particulars of income from revenue . Under these
circumstances, we are directing deletion of the penalty levied by the
Revenue u/s. 271(1)(c) and we uphold/confirm the well reasoned order of
the learned CIT-A deleting penalty levied by the AO u/s 271(1)(c), in which
we do not find any infirmity.

Sunrise Metal Industries vs Income-Tax Officer on 21 November, 2002
The learned counsel for the
assessee also relied upon the decision of ITAT, Mumbai in the case of
Sunrise Metal Industries v. ITO reported in (2004) 89 ITD 406(Mum.). It was
submitted that there was a loan licence agreement with Vaibhav Healthcare
Private Limited and complete details were submitted before the authorities
below . It was submitted that the AO erred in holding that there is no loan
license agreement entered into by the assessee. It was submitted that it was
only that the assessee claim which was rejected by the AO but that will not
mean that the assessee has filed a claim which was patently wrong as the
manufacturing was done at the unit of the Vaibhav Healthcare Private
Limited which is a sister concern of the assessee located at Baddi, Himachal
Pradesh and the assessee was entitled for deduction u/s. 80IC . It was
submitted that belief of the assessee while claiming deduction u/s 80IC was
a bonafide belief. It was submitted that the said unit of Vaibhav was
proposed to be merged with the assessee with effect from 01.01.2006 which
was later changed to be with effect from 01.04.2006 and the said scheme of
merger was approved by Hon'ble Bombay High Court. It was submitted that
no inaccurate particulars of income were furnished by the assessee while the
19
I.T.A. No. 7529/Mum/2011
AO may differ with the legal claim made by the assessee but that is not
sufficient to fasten liability for levy of penalty u/s 271(1)(c) of the 1961 Act.
The Ld. AR would rely on the appellate order passed by learned CIT-A. It was
submitted that the AO invoked second limb of Section 271(1)(c) of the 1961
Act and penalty was levied for furnishing of inaccurate particulars of income.
It was submitted by learned counsel for the assessee that its sister concern
Vaibhav Healthcare Private Limited was entitled for Section 80IC benefits
and no undue advantage has been taken by the assessee . It was submitted
that there was no incorrect statements made by the assessee and the
manufacturing was infact done at the unit of Vaibhav Healthcare Private
Limited at Baddi (Himachal Pradesh) under the control and supervision of
assessee. It was submitted that no inaccurate particulars of income were
furnished by the assessee. It was also submitted that penalty on additions of
Rs. 7 lacs has no connection with the disallowance u/s 80IC of the 1961 Act.
It was submitted that disallowance of claim u/s 80IC has nothing to do with
search conducted by the Revenue u/s 132(1) and explanation 5 to Section
271(1)(c) has no relevance so far as disallowance u/s 80IC of the 1961 Act is
concerned. It was submitted that no undue utilisation of deduction u/s 80IC
was claimed as in any case sister concern Vaibhav Healthcare Private
Limited was entitled for deduction u/s 80IC. It was submitted that in
computation of income filed with the Revenue, it was clearly reflected that
the deduction u/s 80IC to the tune of Rs.9.99 crore was claimed . Our
attention was also drawn to page no. 4 to 39 wherein the annual report of
the assessee for financial year 2005-06 is placed. It was submitted that there
was proper disclosure by the assessee in the financial statements and
manufacturing of pharma product was done on contract basis at the unit of
the sister company of the assessee Vaibhav Healthcare Private Limited
located at Baddi , HP which was later merged with the assessee on
01.04.2006 . It was submitted that said Vaibhav was duly entitled for
deduction u/s 80IC of the 1961 Act. Our attention was also drawn to page

to the Baddi unit only on the car as the Plant & Machinery was not installed.
