Quick Summary

The Income Tax Appellate Tribunal (ITAT) Delhi has ruled on a penalty imposed under Section 271(1)(c) of the IT Act. The Assessing Officer (AO) had rejected the assessee's book results and made an addition to income by estimating profit at 14.5% on sales, which the assessee had agreed to for estimation purposes. The ITAT allowed the appeal, finding the penalty unsustainable in this scenario.

Court :

Brief :
This appeal filed by the assessee is directed against the order dated 31st January, 2018 of the CIT(A), Ghaziabad, relating to assessment year 2013-14.
