Penalty under section 270A for under-reporting of income may be excluded where a bona fide computational error explains the reduction of a returned loss and all material facts were disclosed. The notes describe an inadvertent double deduction of exempt partnership-firm profit in Schedule BP, although the amount had already been disclosed in Schedule EI and reflected in the balance sheet. Acceptance of recomputation, supported by a Chartered Accountant's affidavit, and the absence of proof that the explanation was false supported deletion of the penalty. Repetition of the error in a revised return was not, by itself, treated as conclusive evidence of misreporting or inaccurate particulars.
