Fact of Case:
Assessment year 2012-2013
Corporate Assessee
Original Return filed in time. 139(1)
Problem:
During scrutiny-
AO observe MAT payable against deduction u/s 80-IC and issue notice u/s 142(1).
80-IC income become liable to Mat as the per the amendment.
Against such notice
- Revised return is filed on 15/09/2014 accepting MAT payable
- Tax has been deposited with interest
- And Copy of 29B dated 25/08/2012 to AO
Query: Whether Revised return can be Accepted or rejected?
Is penalty on the ground of intentional omission can be imposed?
Revised return acceptance questioned after acknowledgment of minimum alternate tax liability and deposit; penalty for intentional omission considered. Whether a corporate assessee's revised return filed after a scrutiny notice conceding Minimum Alternate Tax liability arising from a deduction under industrial incentive provisions is procedurally valid; the assessee filed a revised return, deposited the tax with interest and produced the compliance document for the deduction, raising the related question of whether a penalty for intentional omission may be imposed in light of the amendment and payment.
