Penalty under section 270A was deleted where the assessee claimed deduction for Health and Education Cess on a bona fide legal view supported by existing High Court precedents, fully disclosed the claim in the return, and voluntarily withdrew the claim during assessment after a retrospective statutory explanation was introduced.
