Political contribution deductions require assessee-specific proof before cash-back allegations can justify disallowance or unexplained-money additions...
Misreporting of income under section 270A is not established merely because a donation deduction claimed under section 80GGC was disclosed in the return and later disallowed or withdrawn in a reassessment return. Misreporting requires material indicating deliberate furnishing of inaccurate particulars, false evidence, suppression, or misrepresentation. Where the taxpayer fulfils the substantive conditions for immunity under section 270AA(1), penalty protection applies. On these principles, the penalty imposed for misreporting was deleted and the appeal was allowed.
