Dominant issue: Whether imposition of penalty under section 271(1)(c) for allegedly furnishing inaccurate particulars due to additional lease rental claimed on a straight-line basis is justified. Reasoning: The change in accounting for operating leases was disclosed in audited accounts; two plausible interpretations of AS-19 existed; the assessee adopted a bona fide, arguable view and furnished full disclosure. Legal basis: penalty requires concealment or proven falsity, and assessment additions alone do not establish inaccuracy. Outcome: Penalty under section 271(1)(c) quashed. - ITAT
