Purposive interpretation of residential house exemption: unregistered purchase agreement alone does not defeat relief, but investment must be verified...
Section 276CC contains a statutory exception to prosecution for failure to furnish an income-tax return where tax payable on regular assessment, after reducing advance tax and tax deducted at source, does not exceed the prescribed threshold. The notes state that an accepted return showing a refund entitlement after TDS credit indicates no revenue loss and may bring the taxpayer within that exception. They further note that failure by the sanctioning authority to consider TDS can render prosecution unwarranted and an abuse of process, supporting quashing of the complaint.
