Levy of penalty - Reasonable cause - non filing of ITR - failure to comply with notice u/s 142(1) - it is seen that the explanation offered by the assessee have been ignored by the A.O. as well as the Ld. CIT(A)-NFAC but confirmed the levy of penalties u/s. 271(1)(b) and u/s. 271F of the Act without considering u/s. 273B - Applying the provisions of Section 273B we have no hesitation in deleting the penalties levied u/s. 271(1)(b) and u/s. 271F of the Act since “reasonable cause” is clearly demonstrated by the assessee. - AT
