ITAT Grants Relief in Cases of Late Filing and Incorrect ITR Form Usage
Two recent Income Tax Appellate Tribunal (ITAT) rulings provided relief to taxpayers facing penalties due to procedural errors. In one case, an Indian employee who moved to the US was initially penalized Rs 8.29 lakh for late ITR filing, but ITAT Jaipur canceled the penalty after he voluntarily paid due taxes. In another, a trader faced a Rs 26.69 lakh tax demand for using the wrong ITR form, but ITAT Chandigarh ruled that this did not justify double taxation and deleted the addition.
