The Commissioner Of Income Tax Ii v. Liquid Investment And Trading Co

The Commissioner Of Income Tax Ii v. Liquid Investment And Trading Co

(High Court Of Delhi)

ITA No.240/2009 | 05-10-2010

1. Both the CIT(A) as well as the ITAT have set aside the penalty imposed by the Assessing Officer under Section 271(1)(c) of the Income Tax Act, 1961 on the ground that the issue of deduction under Section 14A of the Act was a debatable issue.  

2. We may also note that against the quantum assessment whereunder deduction under Section 14A of the Act was prescribed to the assessee, the assessee has preferred an appeal in this Court under Section 260A of the Act which has also been admitted and substantial question of law framed.  

3. This itself shows that the issue is debatable.

4. For these reasons, we are of the opinion that no question of law arises in the present case.

5. This appeal is accordingly dismissed.
