Corporate Assessee Revises Tax Return Post-Scrutiny, Accepts MAT Under Section 80-IC; Penalty Questioned for Omission A corporate assessee filed an original tax return on time for the assessment year 2012-2013. During scrutiny, the Assessing Officer (AO) noted that Minimum Alternate Tax (MAT) was payable against a deduction under section 80-IC due to an amendment. A notice under section 142(1) was issued, prompting the assessee to file a revised return on 15/09/2014, accepting the MAT payable and depositing the tax with interest. The query raised was whether the revised return could be accepted or rejected and if a penalty for intentional omission could be imposed. The response sought clarification on whether the issue was resolved. (AI Summary)
