Pannu (President) and Kul Bharat (Judicial Member) held that it won\u2019t make the assessee liable to a penalty.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Factual Matrix<\/span><\/h4>\n<hr \/>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">An assessee had filed its return of income and the assessment under Section 143(3) of the Income Tax Act, 1961 was framed. Thereby, the income was assessed at Rs 2,13,61,910 after making additions in respect of the wrong claim of deduction under Section 24(a) of the Income Tax Act; disallowance of excess depreciation on vehicles and disallowance of interest under Section 36(1)(iii) of the Act.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">A further appeal was carried out wherein the disallowance of interest under Section 36(1)(iii) of the Act was deleted.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Subsequently, the Assessing Officer issued a notice under Section 271(1)(c) of the Act to show cause why the penalty should not be levied, for which the assessee stated that deduction under Section 24(a) of the Act was claimed by the assessee through a bonafide and inadvertent error.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">AO did not accept the contention of assesse that he had disclosed and furnished correct particulars of his income, hence penalty was levied.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Aggrieved with the above, the assessee preferred an appeal before the CIT (A) who sustained the penalty, therefore the assessee has appealed before this Tribunal.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Analysis and Decision<\/span><\/h4>\n<hr \/>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #008080;\">\u201cThere is no straight jacket formula to say that particular act was a bonafide error or another a deliberate act.\u201d<\/span><strong style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, Oxygen-Sans, Ubuntu, Cantarell, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif;\">\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Bench noted that the assessee in the present matter had successfully demonstrated that the claim of deduction under Section 24(a) of the Income Tax Act, was made as the rent was offered for tax under the income from house property.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Hence, in view of the Supreme Court decision in <em>Price Waterhouse Coopers (P) Ltd. v.
