The ITAT allowed the appeal and set aside the penalty under s.271F of the Act (Rs.5,000) imposed for non-filing of the original return under s.139(1). The Tribunal found the assessee to be a non-resident, the USD 1,200,000 transaction to be a foreign loan for US business properly evidenced by US bank records and a promissory note, and no part of the sum was remitted to or utilized in India.
