The ITAT examined a penalty proceeding under section 270A involving interest rate discrepancies. The AO disallowed excess interest beyond 6% and the assessee acknowledged the disallowance while requesting penalty proceeding withdrawal. The tribunal held that making a claim deemed excessive by the AO does not constitute misrepresentation.
