Reasonable cause under Section 273B operates to preclude imposition of penalties under Sections 271D and 271E where the assessee demonstrably shows bona fide belief and genuineness of transactions; thus deposit of cash in bank accounts, explained as bona fide and not motivated to avoid tax, furnished a reasonable cause and led to relief from penalties.
