Penalty under section 270A was held unsustainable where a charitable trust's depreciation claim was disallowed, but the income, after giving effect to the quantum order allowing accumulation, still remained nil and no tax was payable.

With no positive assessed income, tax effect, or demonstrated carry-forward benefit, the penalty was deleted.
