Failure to voluntarily apply s. 50C does not attract penalty u/s 271(1)(c)
The assessee sold a flat for Rs. 63 lakhs and offered capital gains on that basis while its stamp duty valuation was Rs. 72 lakhs. The difference of Rs. 9 lakhs was assessed by the AO u/s 50C which the assessee accepted. The AO levied penalty u/s 271(1)(c) which was confirmed by the CIT (A). On appeal to the Tribunal, HELD allowing the appeal:
The AO had not questioned the actual consideration received by the assessee but the addition was made purely on the basis of the deeming provisions of s. 50C. The AO had not doubted the agreement or given any finding that the actual sale consideration was more than the sale consideration stated in the sale agreement. The fact that the assessee agreed to the addition is not conclusive proof that the sale consideration as per agreement was incorrect and wrong. Accordingly, there was no concealment of income or furnishing inaccurate particulars of income.
