The ITAT allowed the assessee's appeal and set aside penalties levied under section 271(1)(c). The AO had added amounts for claimed depreciation on goodwill and under section 40A(3); the depreciation issue had been contested before the CIT(A) and subsequently the ITAT, which found in favour of the assessee and directed deletion of the penalty relating to goodwill depreciation.
