आदेश / O R D E R
Per B.M. Biyani, AM:
Feeling aggrieved by appeal-order dated 07.09.2023 passed by learned CIT(A), NFAC, Delhi [“CIT(A)”] which in turn arises out of penalty-order dated 30.03.2019 passed by learned ITO-3(1), Indore [“AO”] u/s 271(1)(c) of Income- tax Act, 1961 [“the Act”] for assessment-year [“AY”] 2011-12, the revenue has filed this appeal on the grounds mentioned in Form No. 36.
Heard the learned Representatives of both sides and case-record perused.
ACIT,Indore vs. Life Care International, Indore ITA No.411/Ind/2023 Assessment Year 2011-12
The background facts leading to this appeal are such that the
assessment of relevant AY 2011-12 under consideration was completed by AO
by way of scrutiny assessment u/s 143(3) after making certain additions.
Thereafter, the AO passed penalty-order u/s 271(1)(c) on
30.03.201915.03.2019 imposing a penalty of Rs. 1,02,17,000/- qua the
additions made in assessment. Against assessment-order, the assessee went in
appellate proceedings upto ITAT, Indore in ITA No. 335 to 337/Ind/2018 and
the ITAT has already decided assessee’s appeal on 01.09.2021 and deleted all
additions made in assessment. The assessee also went in separate appeal
against penalty-order whereupon the CIT(A) has deleted penalty by concluding
thus:
“Since the quantum on which the penalty under section 271(1)(c) was
levied has been deleted by Hon’ble ITAT, penalty u/s 271(1)(c) of the Act
has no basis and is held as ab initio void.”
Now, the revenue has come in next appeal assailing the order of CIT(A). 4. Ld. DR for revenue fairly agreed that there is no mistake in the order of
CIT(A). It appears that the revenue has filed this appeal only to keep the issue
alive but there is no merit in the grounds raised by revenue. Faced with this
situation, we are inclined to dismiss this appeal being devoid of any merit.
ACIT,Indore vs. Life Care International, Indore ITA No.411/Ind/2023 Assessment Year 2011-12
Resultantly, this appeal is dismissed.
Order pronounced in open court on 26.07.2024.
