ITAT ruled that penalty under section 271(1)(c) cannot be sustained where income assessment was based on estimated net profit rate of 24.50% versus assessee's declared 22.72%. When Assessing Officer resorts to income estimation after rejecting books of accounts under Section 145(3), it does not automatically establish concealment or furnishing of inaccurate income particulars.
