Issue: imposition of penalty under section 271(1)(b) for failure to comply with notices under section 142(1). Principle applied: the onus lies on the assessee to show bona fide and reasonable cause and to disclose material facts; Revenue need not prove deliberate default.

The ITAT upheld two penalties for separate non compliance occasions and dismissed the appeal for failure to prove reasonable cause.
