Quick Summary
This discussion explores whether a penalty under Section 271(1)(c) of the Income Tax Act can be levied when correct income was reported in response to a notice, even if the original return was inaccurate. While advance tax payment is considered, the final decision rests with the Assessing Officer, who must exercise due diligence and consider judicial precedents. Assessees have the right to appeal if the penalty imposition is not in line with legal pronouncements.

I think , Assessee will be liable to pay penalty...

But as you know there is always an exception...
for that u should ellaborate basis of addition in reassessment

Okay Thanks more detailed answer is awaited

 

 

 

U make a request before the officer for exemption from imposition of penalty. the officer will be dutyful to search for favourable and adverse judgments. its the duty of tax officials.
271(1)(c) is a seperate proceeding other than assessment. AO will definately consider advance payment but it is his call to decide imposition of penalty
When the officer is sitting to decite the applicability and quantum of penalty he is liable to check for applicable judicial precedents
The AO has to exercise due diligence while penaly under 271(1)(c) is imposed . The assessee has right to prefer an appeal if is not in line with judicial pronuncements
